Here's the definition of a modifier. A modifier is a word, phrase, or clause which functions as an adjective or an adverb to describe a word or make its meaning more specific. So in A "amazed" would be the modifier. In B "brightly" would be it. In D it would be bright in C "saw" would be the modifier. I'm thinking B would be it. It just doesn't sound right it should be the faces of some fans we're painted brightly also. I'd go with B.
