Correct Answer: may be converted


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

"Convert" means to change the form or function of something and is a synonym for "transform," which makes it the appropriate choice for the substitution. It does not change the context of the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • "Might be placed" is not the correct choice here as it does not fit in the sentence contextually.
  • "Might be evolved" should not be used in this sentence, as evolve means something that changes gradually and does not help convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
  • "May be devaluated" is also not the correct choice, as devaluate means something that loses its value, which is not the intended message.
