Explanation
Q ('from the perspective of humans') + S ('living on its surface') form the opening adverbial — the participle phrase must sit next to 'humans', whom it modifies. P ('earth may seem immense') + R ('and almost limitless') then give the main clause: 'From the perspective of humans living on its surface, earth may seem immense and almost limitless.' The keyed order strands 'living on its surface' after 'limitless', where it dangles. Confirmed by the hranker answer key (Ans c). Hence (C).
