The given sentence is unclear due to the fact that is given in option (c): "The dependent clause modifies the wrong word."

What is a dependent clause modifier?

In most cases, a dangling modifier is an elliptical clause or a phrase—a dependent clause whose subject and verb are indicated rather than expressed—that serves as an adjective but does not modify any particular word in the sentence, or (worst) modifies the incorrect word.

Dependent clauses come in three different varieties: 

• Noun clauses
• Adjective clauses
• Adverbial clauses

A dependent phrase lacks a complete thought but has a subject and verb, is introduced by a subordinate conjunction, or is introduced by a relative pronoun.

A dependent clause is not an independent clause. Due to the flooding caused by the recent severe rains, for instance.

Therefore, option (C): "dependent clause" makes the sentence unclear.
