Which sentence contains a misplaced or dangling modifier?

A.The girl was happy to be picking flowers in the field.

B.They listened to the rain fall happily playing inside the apartment.

C.To adjust the volume, move the indicator bar up or down.

D.Cautiously, the dog began sniffing the new toy.

From my understanding, a dangling modifier is a word or phrase that makes the sentence or ambiguous or not clear.

I would choose C.
Can the rain fall happily? I think "while" should be placed before happily to clear who's doing the action happily. Hope this helped!
