Answer:

C). It places the participial phrase in the wrong place.

Explanation:

As per the question, the grammatical error in the given sentence is that wrong or inappropriate placement of participle phrase 'Materializing from the mist'.

Participle phrases are defined as phrases comprising of a participle(present or present), its object, and any modifier to accomplish a complete sense in the sentence. Grammatically, these phrases are placed at the end or middle of the sentence as it functions as an adjective/modifier in the sentence. Thus, the given sentence is grammatically incorrect and hence, option C is the answer. The correct version of the sentence reads as:

'The alarm warned the ship to steer quickly to the right of the rocks materializing from the mist.'
