Modifiers always work best when they are placed

A. at the end of the sentence.

B. at the beginning of the sentence.

C. near the word they modify in the sentence.

D. after the verb that follows the word they modify in the sentence.

The answer is letter C.

Modifiers should always be placed near the word that they are modifying in the sentence.

There are two types of modifiers and these are the dangling modifiers and squinting modifiers. Choice B describes dangling modifiers, while choice D describes squinting modifiers.
