    B Only B and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only C and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All A, C and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Word C is inappropriately used in the sentence. The modal verb "can" cannot be followed by the third-person singular form of the verb "replays". It should be followed by the base verb. "Replay" ("playback (a recording on tape, video, or film)") does not fit the context of the sentence which discusses impact of advanced batteries on fossil fuels. The verb "replace" ("take the place of") fits in contextually and grammatically. Also, word D is incorrectly spelt. The correct word is "emissions" ("amount of a substance that is produced and sent out into the air that is harmful to the environment, especially carbon dioxide"). Other words are correctly spelt and used appropriately in the sentence. Hence, option c) is the answer.
