Hi Experts,
I am unable to understand the way participle modifiers work as I find a different explanation for using the Comma + ing modifier for every question
As Stacey has mentioned in her post below,the ing modifier modifies the previous clause - noun & verbs

So, for this particular question, does'nt the "sporadically erupting" modify how geologists think?
Geologists once thought that the molten rock known as lava was an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days, sporadically erupting through volcanoes, but they now know that it is continuously created by the heat of the radioactivity deep inside the planet.
A. was an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days, sporadically erupting
B. had been an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days and sporadically erupted
C. was an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days, which sporadically erupted
D. would be an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days that sporadically erupted
E. was an underground remnant of Earth's earliest days, having sporadically erupted
This question is from the MGMAT CAT
