which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

A. What a delightful after-dinner show you have given us! B. We smiled our approval and nodded to each other. C. With a hop and a skip, the door opened, and a little girl came in. D. To our surprise, she began a little dance in front of us.

I think it's C. "With a hop and a skip" is placed in a confusing spot, as it could also describe the door's movement. The sentence should be "The door opened, and a little girl came in with a hop and a skip."
