"has the ability" is much more wordy than "can".
Between A and C, I think C has a modifier problem.
(A)

Guys, can we use a "," along with "which" in this sentence? I think "," is not needed here at all. any comments?
what is the source of this SC?

for the use of non-restrictive clause, you need a 'comma'. Why do you think, it's not needed?

(A) Looks fine. But shouldn't the sentence read "technique find use in x,y,z" instead of "technique find uses in x,y,z".
