Answer: C

Explanation:

“A shockingly indelible moment,”, “A shocking, indelible moment,”, “Shocked and indelible,”, and “Shocking and I will never forget it,” all have dangling modifier errors, because they aren’t describing what comes after the comma. Indelible means not able to be erased; you wouldn’t say that about a person in this context.
