B.savedC.saving

D.havingsaved参考答案：C【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于“糖税”,食品工厂在食品中减少了糖,节省约4500万公斤的糖。句中主语foodfactories和动词save是主动关系，用现在分词的一般形式作结果状语，表示现在的情况。故选C.【点睛】现在分词短语在句中可以作结果状语，它的逻辑主语便是句中的主语，该短语相当于一个结果状语从句，且用主动语态。分词短语在句中作结果状语时，通常位于句末，中间有逗号。有时为了加强语气，就在分词前加thus。Theircarwascaughtinatrafficjam,thuscausingthedelay.=Theircarwascaughtinatrafficjam,thusitcausedthedelay.他们的车遇上交通阻塞，因而耽误了。16.Therehavebeenseveralnewevents________totheprogramforthe2008BeijingOlympicGames.A.add
