C. Hummingbirds are hovering over the geraniums while caterpillars munched leaves.

This is because the tense of the hummingbirds is in the "ing" form, while the tense of the caterpillars is in past tense, or the "ed" form. Because these tenses do not agree, it is an inappropriate shift in verb tense.
