Answer:

B. It was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Modifiers are those words or groups of words or phrases that modifies the word associated to it. Misplaced modifiers are those phrases that are placed in the wrong place, thus making the sentence absurd and with no real understandable meaning.

Among the four sentences provided, the one with the misplaced modifier is option B. In this sentence, the frog and the lily- pad should be put together, thus making the sentence more understandable.

Thus, the correct way of writing this sentence will be

It was the frog on the lily-pad in the pond that caught my eye.
