Among the choices provided, the sentence which contains a misplaced or dangling modifier is:

C. Learning to cook is well worth the time spent.

I think it should be that "worth" comes ahead of the word "well" because it is the correct pattern of the modifier and the word it modifies and sounds more appropriate.
