The sentence that contains a misplaced modifier is option B: 'In the last second, their team made the winning basket.' This is because the phrase 'In the last second' is incorrectly placed and makes it unclear what it's modifying. It should be rewritten for clarity to 'Their team made the winning basket in the last second.'
