Explanation:

A misplaced modifier should be placed as close as possible to the word it modifies. In the original sentence, "armed with their bats, balls, and mitts" is unclear in what it modifies. The best - corrected version is the one where the modifier is clearly associated with the team. Starting the sentence with "Armed with their bats, balls, and mitts" clearly shows that the team had these items when they raced to the field.

C. Armed with their bats, balls, and mitts, the team raced to the field to practice for the game.
