Please read about participial phrases here. Then let me know what you decide.
The trick is to differentiate between when a verb is being used as the main verb of a clause and when it's being used to modify someone/something.
Is it C?
Not C.
Don't guess. Please study that website I gave you.

In three of those choices, the word "encouraged" has a subject. In one of them it doesn't.
In which ONE does it NOT have a subject?
YESSSSS!! D!
Super!
