As with all modifiers, first try to identify what the subject is. Ask the question, ‘who is using the techniques?’ In this case, the subject of the sentence is ‘laboratory scientists’.
Armed with this knowledge, you can eliminate options A, B, D, E
You are left with Option C – the best option.
Hope this helps!
