What is the name of the common error in the following sentence?

English

The name of the common error in this sentence is C) dangling modifier. 
We don't know what the dangling modifier (having risen because of the rains) actually refers to - does it refer to the hikers or the river?
Although using logic you can infer that it refers to the river, but still, the order of the words makes it an incorrect sentence.

Which sentences contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers?
Kay [80]

A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:

  • My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove <em>Maria</em>, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.
  • My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove <em>Tory and Monica</em>, we can still identify which two people we are referring to.
  • Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove <em>which I love</em>, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.
