The correct option is C La Chanson de Roland made famous the obliteration, due to an ambush by the Basque army, of the rearguard of the Frankish army, under the command of Roland, at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778
La Chanson de Roland made famous the obliteration, due to an ambush by the Basque army, of the rearguard of the Frankish army, under the command of Roland, at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778.
The "due to" phrase in this sentence correctly modifies the noun "obliteration." We could drop the "due to" phrase, and the remaining sentence would still make sense.
The word "due" is an adjective, and it is grammatically incorrect for any adjective to modify a verb. Using "due to" to modify verbs, actions, is an extremely common mistake in English.
