potential as还是potential to be

Rachel76

Gas hydrates, chemical compounds of water and natural gas, are increasingly being studied for their potential to be huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and significant contributors to global warming.
A.to be huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and
B.to be huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and even as
c.as huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and
D.as huge reservoirs of energy, and the possible cause of sea floor instability,
E.as huge reservoirs of energy, as possible causes of sea floor instability,  and even as
答案是A，我选了E，因为E选项and连接3个部分很对称啊！难道是potential一定要搭配to be么？

我的GWD TN 是E

两个都可以搭配的。
不过Gas hydrates不是变为huge reservoirs of energy这些东东，而是作为huge reservoirs of energy这些东东，所以用as更加合理。
