Answer:

C. After parking my car in a tow​ zone, a ticket was placed on my windshield by the police.

Step-by-step explanation:

"After parking my car in a tow zone".

Parking my car

Here you can see the dangling modifier. Who parked the car? It should be "After I parked my car". It is not clear who is parking "my car" throughout the sentence.
