The problem with straying into unchartered waters is that we tend to miss the core point because of the enormity of the context.
First of all, we must remember that in all sentences that start with a modifier such as in A, B, C, and D, we must first check whether the appropriate subject is present after the end of the modifier. That is the simple reason that we can dismiss A, B, and C and in one slash.
However, this rule does not pertain to complex sentences where a subordinate clause. starts the sentence. After the dependent clause, we can have any independent sentence with its own appropriate subject.
Skywlaker did hunt about it in his POE about choice C. That reason holds good for the other three wrong choices too.
The other errors are there definitely. However, whether one wants to use the grammar route or other routes is one's own choice.
