Solution

The correct options are
A NO CHANGE
B The little girl practices only when her teacher scolds her.
Since the adverb clause"when...her" modifies "only", these should be placed next to each other, after the verb. Hence, Option A is correct. The clause also modifies the verb "practices", hence, the sentence can remain unchanged. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
