    D have alter consumer behavior significant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No improvement required. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The original sentence contains a grammatical error: "has alter" should be corrected to "has altered" to properly match the present perfect tense. Option 3 provides the correct form, ensuring the sentence is grammatically correct and maintains its intended meaning. The phrase "significantly" also appropriately modifies "altered consumer behavior." The other options contain errors or do not fit the context.
