    options. Select the option that contains an error. Safety concerns are paramount because introducing live bacteria into a patient’s body can caused harm.
    A bacteria into a patient’s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Safety concerns are paramount Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C body can caused harm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D because introducing live Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error lies in the phrase "can caused harm."

    The modal verb "can" should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is "cause," not "caused."

    Therefore, the correct phrase should be: "body can cause harm."

    The corrected sentence would be:"Safety concerns are paramount because introducing live bacteria into a patient’s body can cause harm."
