Explanation

DETECT/ DETAIN

"Detect" is correct because it means to identify problems. "Detain" means to keep someone in a place (police station, prison, for example) which does not fit the context here: detain someone for questioning, detain a suspect.

CAPTURE/ CAPTIVATE

"Capture" is correct because it means to take and record images. "Captivate" means to attract or hold interest, which does not fit the context here.

PROCESS/ PROSESS

"Process" is correct because it means to handle and analyze data. "Process" is misspelled and is not a valid word.

AFFECT/ IMPACT

"Impact" is correct because it means an effect or influence. "Affect" is a verb that means to influence. In this context, we need a noun: make a significant impact.

MANUAL/ MANUALLY

"Manual" is correct because it is an adjective and describes inspections done by hand, without automation: for manual inspections. "Manually" is an adverb and does not fit as it describes the manner of doing something rather than the type of inspection.
