Answer:

D. The delivery men loaded our old sofa into the truck with the green plaid cushions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A misplaced modifier is a phrase or clause placed awkwardly in a sentence so that it appears to modify or refer to an unintended word.

In this case, with the green plaid cushions are intended for the word truck.

It should be written as: The delivery men loaded our old sofa, with the green plaid cushions, into the truck.
