1. It is better to tabulate the work done in the past so that readers can quickly grab the main findings and gaps.
2. The authors have not mentioned about the calculation of load demand (both P and Q) and load model.
3. Regarding the quoted text, "The three test systems resulted in total active power losses of 127.53, 123.32, and 402.02 kW with savings of 37.2%, 61%, and 36%, respectively, compared to original statuses", also give losses in the reference case.
4. Ref. [31] does not have any transformer, regulators, and capacitors. How do you consider them in the proposed problem? Citation required.
5. The volt-var control (VVC) devices have assumed for loss reduction. Thus, a case study for a longer duration (e.g., a daily basis with an interval of 15 minutes) needs to be conducted alongside the installation and maintenance cost of VVC devices. It will be better if you include as a cost function.
6. In Table IV, Ploss expected to be in kW, not in MW.
7. What is the reference for the deviation calculations in Table IV?
8. Mostly distribution networks are multi-phase and unbalanced. It is recommended to test the proposed algorithm on any medium-sized 3-phase unbalanced distribution system (e.g., IEEE-123 Node Test System, etc.)

Authors need to include voltage dependent demand in the objective function and test the proposed work on any unbalanced IEEE Test feeder.

In my opinion, there must be a change in both optimum and loss calculations if we modify the objective function as done in this revision. Also, complete solution will be modified by considering voltage dependent load models but the same has not been seen in the revision. Thus, I have a doubt on its implementations.
