The correct answer is B. The tents , leaking in at least a dozen places, were abandoned by the campers who were lured by the dry, warm cabin.

This is the only sentences that places the modifier leaking in at least a dozen places correctly.

A and D are incorrect because the way those two sentences are written, it would seem that the campers, and not the tents, were leaking. C is also incorrect because it seems that the warm cabins are leaking, when in fact the tents were. So B is the only correct answer.
