Answer:

Option C has a misplaced modifier

Step-by-step explanation:

"He Earned doing chore" is to far away from "money" . Which modifies the statement to know that shoe box is only meant for saving money earned from chores.

So therefore the right statement is

Jeremy began saving all the money he earned doing chores in a shoe box.
