Correct Answer: As he was running down the street, he missed the bus
The dangling participle must attach to the person doing the running: only (c) supplies an explicit subject ("he") for the action. The trap is (a): adding "while" does not fix the dangling modifier — the bus remains the grammatical subject, absurdly doing the running.
