The correct answer is C. Hitting the water with an awkward belly-flop, Roland splashed everyone sitting by the pool.

Explanation:

In grammar, misplaced or dangling modifiers are common mistakes that occur when a modifier (word or set of words describing or modifying others) is not placed beside the word it modifies (misplaced) or appears alone and therefore does not modify the adequate element (dangling).

In the case presented, the modifier is "Hitting the water with an awkward belly-flop" and the word it modified is "Roland" because it was Roland the one that jumped to the water and splashed everyone. According to this, the modifier should be followed by the word it modifies to be correctly placed and therefore the sentence with no misplaced or dangling modifiers is"Hitting the water with an awkward belly-flop, Roland splashed everyone sitting by the pool."

One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.
