The correct answer is B. A word, phrase, or clause that seems to refer to or modify an unintended word because of its placement in a sentence.

Explanation:

A modifier refers to a word or phrase that describes or modifies others in a sentence and that is essential to understand the meaning of the sentence. On the other hand, a misplaced modifier is a grammatical error that occurs as the modifier is not placed correctly and therefore, the reader might believe it modifies a different word to the one the writer intends. For examples, in the sentence "I saw some flowers going to the school" the words "going to the school" act as misplaced modifier because by placing them at the end it seems the flowers were going to the school and should be corrected as "Going to the school, I saw some flowers". Thus, it is option B the one that defines a misplaced modifier.
