    In B , replace the noun significance with the adjective significant as we need an adjective to describe the noun changes (modifying words for nouns are adjectives). The corrected sentence would then read: "The increasing reliance on renewable energy sources like solar and wind has brought significant changes in the global energy sector, with many countries actively promoting policies to reduce their carbon footprint."
