Answer:

BB the Grand Canyon came into view as I was hiking along the trail.

CC walking toward the car, I could see that I had a flat tire.

Explanation:

Misplaced modifiers create an ambiguous or confusing sense, since it is imprecise which noun they modify. In that matter, sentence AA is incorrect because it is not clear whether hiking along the trail refers to the Grand Canyon or the speaker. Similarly, in sentence DD, the phrase walking toward the car is also too distant from the subject I.
