a coloring with her crayons, amys daughter was quite well - behaved throughout her mothers history final.
b we synchronized our watches, and left.
c faced with constant shortages of oil the nation looks for alternative fuels.
d riding her horse carmen felt free and happy.

Explanation:

In option A, the introductory participial phrase "Coloring with her crayons" is correctly set off by a comma. In option B, the comma before "and" in a simple compound - predicate sentence is unnecessary. In option C, there should be a comma after "oil" to set off the introductory phrase. In option D, there should be a comma after "horse" to set off the introductory participial phrase.

Answer:

A. Coloring with her crayons, Amy's daughter was quite well - behaved throughout her mother's history final.
