The correct answer is:

B. In the last second, their team made the winning basket.

Explanation:

Misplaced modifiers are those modifiers (descriptive phrases or words) that aren't close to what they are modifying. Modifiers can be phrases, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns.

In this case "In the last second" is modifying the winning basket, so it should be re-written as: "Their team made the winning basket in the last second".
