Answer:

Option: dangling

Explanation:

Let's look at this sentence again:

They spotted a pod of killer whales driving along the ocean highway.

The subject of the sentence is whales.

Now, a modifier is considered dangling when the sentence does not make it clear about which subject is being modified. This happens when there is a misplaced modifier. A dangling modifier can be corrected by moving it to a different place like this:

While they were driving along the ocean highway, they spotted a pod of killer whales.

Now, the sentence is clear.
