The participle in this sentence is "past"

Participles have different functions within a sentence. In this case, the past participle is "clipped" and ends with "ed". The past participle "clipped" functions as an adjective since it is modifying the noun "tails".

The option "present" is incorrect since present participles are formed by verb infinive+ing.
