Explanatory Answer

The error in the given sentence is that of a dangling modifier.  "Besides offering physiological rewards such as toned muscles..." is a modifier that refers to an action (offering rewards) but does not state what offers these rewards. Such modifiers must be followed immediately after by the subject they modify. In other words, “Besides offering physiological rewards such as toned muscles” must be followed immediately after by “karate”, which is the subject of the main clause. So, option D is correct.

The question is " Besides offering physiological rewards such as toned muscles, when regular karate is practiced the body can be turned into a dangerous weapon. "

Hence, the answer is 'karate, if practiced regularly, can turn the body into a dangerous weapon'

Choice D is the correct answer.
