IMO C

confused between A & C.
But since the subject of this topic say "modifier" , I would go for C.
Otherwise I would have gone for A as I have a doubt about the use of pronouns "her" & "she" before the antecedent.

Hey prachich,

Good question - because modifiers are by nature nonessential information (when set off by commas), you can definitely include pronouns before you get to the noun, because the sentence itself should really be able to stand alone without the modifier. The modifier is an add-on:

Barack Obama hopes to address financial reform.

In his second term, Barack Obama hopes to address financial reform.

The second sentence includes a modifier that gives descriptive information but doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, so really it's preferred to have the pronoun there so that the modifier can maintain its "helpful, but not essential" role.

IMO C.

Thanks Brian@VeritasPrep for your above post!
So what I understand is "modifiers" are exceptions to the rule - "Pronoun cannot precede its antecedent"
Or are there any other exceptions too?

@Brian : Could you explain in detail option B why it is incorrect ?

i have go through the OG explanation, but not sure that I have fully understood it.

Thanks.
