You're welcome.

The error in the given sentence is a C Dangling modifier.

To understand why this is the case, let's break down the sentence and explain the concept of a dangling modifier.

The original sentence is: "The man is a scientist with a keen sense of observation and who dedicates long hours in the lab."

A dangling modifier is a phrase that does not clearly and logically modify the intended subject of the sentence. In this case, the phrase "who dedicates long hours in the lab" is a modifier because it provides additional information about the scientist. However, since it is placed at the end of the sentence, it is not clear which noun it is intended to modify. This creates confusion for the reader.

To correct the dangling modifier error, we can rephrase the sentence to make the intended subject of the modifier clear. For example: "The man is a scientist who dedicates long hours in the lab and has a keen sense of observation."

So, the correct answer is C - Dangling modifier.
