You are correct, the sentence that contains a participial phrase is C. "Quickly snatching up the coat, she ran to her room."
A participial phrase is a group of words that includes a participle (a verb form that functions as an adjective) and any modifiers or complements that accompany it. In this case, the participial phrase is "Quickly snatching up the coat." The word "snatching" is the participle, and "Quickly" is the modifier that describes how the action is done.
To identify a sentence containing a participial phrase, you need to look for a verb form (-ing or -ed) that is used as an adjective to describe a noun or pronoun. In this case, "snatching" is describing the subject "she."
