The correct answer is B. After studying the habits of pit​ vipers, the​ pits, which serve as infrared sensors and enable the snakes to seek​ heat, evolved to detect danger rather than to hunt prey.

Explanation:

A sentence contains a dangling modifier in the case a modifier (word or words that describe a noun) is not placed beside the noun it modifies, instead, the modifier seems to "dangle" with no noun to modify. This is the case of the sentence B because in this the modifier "After studying the habits of pit​ vipers" has been placed beside "the pits"; however, it is not supposed pits study themselves and therefore the modifier seems to dangle as it is not placed beside the noun it should modify.
