I'm not certain for this one... but I would say C, Police, since it is describing what the man is.

Well still. Sometimes with the wrong asker, giving answers even with good explanations could lead to not learning.

Car

The adjective modifies A. Woman because an adjective describes or is related to a noun or pronoun...in which this case the clause is that drives a red car. The noun it describes is the woman. Hope this helped.
