Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Softly, the members ...

Softly is an adverb. So A is your answer if there are no other adverbs beginning a sentence.

B: The instruments ... The is an article which is a kind of adjective. B is not the answer.

C: Tuning is a participle which is a kind of verb. Not the answer

D. Having is a participle. So this sentence is rejected for the same reason that C is.
