• A. potential to use in
• B. potential to be used in
• C. potential to be using in
• D. potential to be used as

Answer 1

Answer:

B. potential to be used in

Passive Voice: The technology (Elastocaloric cooling) is not the one doing the action; it is being used by people or industries. Therefore, we need the passive form "to be used." Preposition Choice: We use the preposition "in" when referring to fields, categories, or specific areas of utility (e.g., "used in medicine," "used in various applications").
