C) Only a few of the top-grossing films of the 1980s, complying with MPAA standards
comma is missing after "complying with MPAA standards"
without comma, the sentence will read "complying with MPAA standards could be seen" nonsensical

,Modifier, → Correct
Modifier, → Wrong
,Modifier → Wrong
Modifier → Correct
