Acknowledging that industrial development is vital (A)/ for the social and economic prosperity of all countries, she caution that the lack of commercially (B)/ viable low-carbon tech and long investment cycles in (C)/ industrial sectors risk locking in carbon emissions for decades. (D)
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correction involves changing "caution" to "cautioned" to ensure proper verb tense agreement. The sentence is discussing an action in the past, and when introducing a past action after an acknowledgment, the past tense "cautioned" is more appropriate.
