C. I hit a falling brick with my head.
D. my head was hit by a falling brick.
E. a falling brick hit my head.
What should be the correct answer. I am confused between B and D.

the other posters are correct, but they haven't mentioned the baseline idea that underlies this problem:
a 'headless' modifier at the beginning of the sentence - that is, a modifier without a subject of its own - must modify the noun that comes directly after it.
that concept alone gets you down to b and c; since c is absurd, b is the last one standing.

incidentally, whenever you see a gmat problem with a headless modifier, you should
immediately scan the subjects that follow it; at least a couple of them are bound to be wrong.
