Following the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger, investigators concluded that many key people employed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its contractors work an excessive amount of overtime that has the potential of causing errors in judgment.
(A) overtime that has the potential of causing
(B) overtime that has the potential to cause
(C) overtime that potentially can cause
(D) overtime, a practice that has the potential for causing
(E) overtime, a practice that can, potentially, cause

Looks E to me. Please provide OA.

Thanks
Mankey

I will also choose E but not sure. The problem with E is that it uses both "can" & "potentially" which is redundancy..Also, the correct idiom is " potential of...".What is the correct answer?...

The idioms are potential to (verb)and potential for/of (noun).

E is the answer to this question as A,B,C refer to overtime.

we need something that refers to "excessive amt... overtime, a practice...."
