The correct answer is D. The children giggled at the elephants sprouting plums of water through their trunks.

That is the only option that makes it absolutely clear which words the modifier really modifies (elephants). The A and C examples make it sound as if the children had trunks and sprouted plums of water through them. The B example makes it clear that it's the elephants that we're talking about, but it doesn't work well in terms of syntax. Only the last option is well structured and clear.

Answer:

Explanation:

The truth is that you do drink whisky, but on this occasion you were in fact taking delivery of a medical specimen. In such a case my belief is true and justified, but I do not thereby know that you drink whisky, since this truth is only accidental relative to my evidence.
