The physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics designed for undergraduate students in a two-year course.

A. The physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics designed for undergraduate students in a two-year course.
B. For undergraduate students, the physicist Richard Feynman presented a two-year course, being a comprehensive introduction to modern physics.
C. A comprehensive introduction was in a two-year course by the physicist Richard Feynman presenting to undergraduate students an introduction to modern physics.
D. Presenting a comprehensive introduction, the physicist Richard Feynman introduced modern physics in a two-year course designed for undergraduate students.
E. In a two-year course designed for undergraduate students, the physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics.

my doubt:i feel that in option E the prepositional phrase "In a two-year course designed for undergraduate students" will be adverbial in nature and so i am not able to understand its function in option E

ALSO what makes D wrong

thanks

E: In a two-year course designed for undergraduate students, the physicist Richard Feynman presented a comprehensive introduction to modern physics.
Here, in a two-year course is an adverb serving to modify presented.
WHERE did Richard Feynman present a comprehensive introduction to modern physics?
He presented it IN A TWO-YEAR COURSE.
ALSO what makes D wrong
In D, introduction and introduced are redundant.

Dear GMATGuruNY
I am having a hard time understanding the intended meaning of the sentence not just w.r.t. to this particular sentence but many other times as well. How do you conclude the meaning of a sentence just by reading the question ?
For instance, my comprehension after reading this sentence was "The physicist presented an introduction to modern physics".
What kind of modern physics did he present?
designed for undergraduate students in a two-year course.

This has happened to me in a number of cases where I fail to understand the intended meaning :( . How to curb this ?
Thanks

A modifier should be AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to what it modifies.
If a VERBed modifier BEGINS a sentence, it should refer to the FIRST WORD in the main clause.
Otherwise, a VERBed modifier will -- in the vast majority of cases -- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW the noun that it modifies.
In E, designed immediately follows course, conveying that a COURSE was DESIGNED.
