Explanation:

A participle is a form of verb that works as an 'adjective' and modifies either the noun or pronoun of the sentence. It can be either a 'present participle' or a 'past participle'.  

A participial phrase will include the participle and the modifiers.

A participle ends with -ing (in case of present participle) and with -ed, -en, -d (in case of past participle).

In Option D, 'laboriously studied the birds', the participle 'studied' is modifying the noun 'birds' that are migrating to the local sanctuary.
