I think its C. Because "here" looks like it being modified.

It makes the most sense to me...

"waiting for the bus "
Is underlined.

"The man waiting for the bus recently moved here from China."

The man is the subject, recently is an adverb describing moved, here is where he moved to, and from China is where he moved from. "From China" is a prepositional phrase.

youngstudier · Answer

Oh, then it is A. Oooops, my mistake, sorry.

rowbe98 · Answer

No worries :)
