Final answer:

Option (c) contains a prepositional phrase at the beginning of the sentence, which modifies the main action of Veronica leaving a trail of breadcrumbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The choice that has a prepositional phrase at the beginning is (c) To find her way back home, Veronica left a trail of breadcrumbs. A prepositional phrase usually starts with a preposition and includes the object that the preposition affects.
