答案解析：

1. Dno more…than…“不比……更……”。此句意为：“研究表明，喝了酒但不过量的司机可能出车祸，不喝酒的司机也同样可能出车祸。”

2. Drather than起并列作用，使merciful与criminal形成平行结构，表示对比。

3. Anone but相当于no one but“只有”，通常接表示人的词;nothing but接表示物的词;none other than和no other than两者的意思都是“(不是别的)……正是……”，与本题全句意思不符。

4. Aas在句中是关系代词，引导非限定性定语从句，其先行词是precautions，其他几个选项都不是关系代词，所以是错误的。

5. Dwhat是关系代词，引导名词性从句，同时又在从句中充当一个成分，如在本句中做从句的主语，整个名词性从句做介词of的宾语;which只能引导形容词性从句;that引导名词性从句时，只是连词;whatever用在句中不通。
