Which sentence correctly places the modifier to avoid confusion?

A He bought a used car from a salesman with a broken headlight.
B With a broken headlight, he bought a used car from a salesman.
C From a salesman, he bought a used car with a broken headlight.
D He bought a used car with a broken headlight from a salesman.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

In option D, 'with a broken headlight' is placed directly after 'car,' clearly indicating that the car has the broken headlight. In option A, the modifier ambiguously refers to the salesman.
