Correct Answer is: D

The pronoun "its" should be used to refer to the noun "potential" in the sentence. The pronoun "it" in choice C refers back to the noun "AI," which is incorrect, as the sentence is discussing the potential of AI in healthcare, not AI itself. Choice A is incorrect because it uses the possessive pronoun "its" incorrectly. Choice B uses the pronoun "its" twice, which is redundant. Only choice D correctly uses the pronoun "its" to refer to the noun "potential" in the sentence, making it the most logical and grammatically correct answer.
