"Based on several manuscripts that date back to the middle ages, historians believe that Charlemagne first rose to power as a mere teenager."
The official answer is, "Using several manuscripts that date back to the middle ages,historians believe that Charlemagne first rose to power as a mere teenager."
Thanks in advance!

Limiting to Kyro’s question, why -based on.... - is incorrect here: This is a classic case of dangling modifier, wherein, if we were to find out who or what was based on several manuscripts, we do not have the answer threw. The historians were not for sure based on manuscripts. In order to make the sentences sensible we have to re-word it as - using several …, the historians ….. . Now for the question, which used the manuscripts, you get the right answer, i.e. the historians.
The OA might as well be Ok, unless something better is among the other three choices.

, Ex: his conslusion bases on correct premises and facts - is correct usage.
Am sure not gonna question OA. Iknow they spend big money
