    A The research team has found Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B that their new method has the potential to Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C significantly reduces energy consumption Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D in industrial processes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In C, "reduces" is incorrect because after the phrase "has the potential to," we need the base form of the verb, which is "reduce." The sentence should read, "The research team has found that their new method has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption in industrial processes." Therefore, C is the correct answer.
