«El arquitecto proyectó un edificio bioclimático con el fin de _____ el consumo eléctrico».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. minimizar

Analysis: 'Con el fin de + infinitivo' expresses purpose when subject is coreferential. Answer: minimizar. Why not the others: The prepositional phrase 'con el fin de' must govern an infinitive verb when the subject is identical; finite conjugated forms and gerunds are grammatically incorrect in this context.
