Answer:

D. Exhausted from the trip, the baby slept through the opening

ceremony.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of this sentence, "exhausted from the trip," does not say who was exhausted from the trip. Dangling modifiers are sentences that don't clearly say what is being modified. "Exhausted from the trip" means that someone was exhausted, but we don't know who.
