Answer:
Your answer would be D.
Explanation:
The sentence that contains a dangling modifier is D. A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In the sentence above, "preparing for the experiment" is a present participle expressing an action but does not name the doer of the action. In English sentences, the doer of the action must be the subject of the main sentence. However, the doer of the action is not "several slides" (the subject of the main clause). Slides do not have volition, so they can't prepare an experiment.
As the doer of the action is not clearly stated, the participle phrase is said to be dangling. Consequently, you should name the appropriate or logical doer of the action as the subject of the main clause. In this case, it could be an NP such as "the scientist" or you can turn the whole sentence into a when clause --> When the scientist was preparing the experiment, several slides...

This is best revises the original sentence for wordiness. The words eliminated are "For the purpose of remembering to". Taking out these prepositional phrases focuses the dependent clause on the verb utilize rather than the actions of remembering and purpose. This helps to eliminate confusion or distractions for the reader. One way to help eliminate answers is that option D does not really make any changes. Option B and C are the same except for the placement of the dependent clause. Moving the dependent clause does not actually change the wordiness of the sentence.
