C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is (C). The phrase 'there is score of potential area' has multiple errors: (1) 'there is' should be 'there are' with plural 'areas', (2) 'score' in the sense of 'many' should be 'scores' (plural), and (3) 'area' should be plural 'areas'. Option C corrects all three issues with 'there are scores of potential areas'.
