[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The answer is D. The participial phrase "Crunching popcorn" modifies the word "girl" in the sentence. To identify the participial phrase and the word it modifies, you need to identify a phrase that begins with a participle (a verb form that typically ends in -ing or -ed) and look for the noun or pronoun that the phrase provides additional information about. In this case, "Crunching popcorn" is the participial phrase and it describes the action or state of the noun "girl." Therefore, option D is correct.
