A. “Could have + participle” is used either to depict something that was possible to be done in the past, but was not done (e.g. “I could have taken tuition, but I decided to study by myself.”) or to guess something that happened in the past ( e.g., “He was not answering the call: he could have been in a meeting.”). The use of “could have used” here does not depict any of these two senses and hence is wrong.
The usage “for learning” is wrong . To express purpose, the infinitive form “to learn” must be used.
B. The meaning is distorted. The verb “ influence” is parallel with “use”, whose subject is “people''. This construction implies that people (could) influence the fashion industry.
C. The usage “for learning” is wrong. To express purpose, the infinitive form “to learn” must be used.
The present participle modifier “greatly influencing the fashion industry” is ambiguous - it is not clear which preceding clause (or its subject) it refers to. It could refer to the main clause “she had built tech-savvy retail stores”, correctly bearing on “she”. It may, however, also refer to the relative clause “in which people could use their smartphones for learning more about a product”, wrongly bearing on “people”.
D. CORRECT. The use of the absolute modifier “ a move that…” eliminates the aforementioned modification errors and parallelism issues. The infinitive “ to learn” is correctly used to depict purpose.
E. The pronoun “it” does not have a proper antecedent.
Answer: D
