To determine which word the participial phrase modifies in the given sentence, we need to identify the participial phrase first. A participial phrase is a phrase that begins with a verb in its past or present participle form (ending in '-ing' for present participle or '-ed' for past participle) and functions as an adjective to modify a noun or pronoun.
In the given sentence, the participial phrase is "screaming loudly." It starts with the present participle verb "screaming" and describes how the action of screaming is performed. Now let's analyze the phrase and identify the word it modifies.
The phrase "screaming loudly" provides additional information about the subject of the sentence, which is "her." It describes the way "her" is screaming. Therefore, the correct answer is:
d) her
