Answer:

<em>B,  Preparing for the​ experiment, several slides were fixed with dye.</em>

Explanation:

<h3>Modifiers</h3>

Modifiers are simple words or phrases used to add emphasis to another word in a sentence. Adjectives and adverbs are used to provide emphasis to nouns and verbs respectively. Clauses and phrases can also be used as modifiers in a sentence. <em>The </em><em>nice </em><em>Child; </em><em> </em>In the example, the adjective shows us that the Child is nice and it is the modifier.

<h3>Dangling Modifiers</h3>

A modifier is considered dangling when the word that its will modifier is not contained in the sentence. For example, the nice ........; the nice in this example is dangling because it does not have a word to modify.

Preparing for the​ experiment, several slides were fixed with dye  contains a dangling modifier. "Preparing for experiment" is  expressing an action, but the person experimenting is not known.  Since the person performing the experiment is not known the phrase "<em>preparing for the experiment</em>" is considered a dangling modifier because it is not modifying any word in the sentence.
