C Correct answer
Explanation

The modified clause in A should modify “lease loan” and not “the lease loan buyer”, since the modifier modifies “automobile loan”. In statement B, “detected” (past indefinite) should be followed by “doubled”. Also “now known to orbit” should replace “known as orbiting”. D also has an error of modifier. “Architects and stonemasons” should be followed, after comma, by “Mayans”.
