The correct answer is A) misplaced modifier.
Explanation: A misplaced modifier occurs when a modifier, such as an adjective or adverb, is not placed next to the word it is intended to modify, resulting in confusion or ambiguity. In this case, the modifier "with a confused look" is not properly placed next to the noun it is intended to modify, which is the convenience store clerk. As a result, it seems like the kits for making model ships have a confused look, instead of the clerk. To fix this, the sentence could be rephrased to: "With a confused look, the convenience store clerk said he didn't have kits for making model ships."
