Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. No improvement.

"Can" is a modal verb that indicates ability or possibility. In this sentence, it conveys that the speaker is capable of making fresh coffee.

Modal verbs like "can" are always followed by the base form of a verb. In this case, "make" is the correct base form following "can."

The adjective "fresh" correctly modifies the noun "coffee."
