Answer: A. The child was dropped in the bushes.

 The way the sentence was formed 'Dropped in the bushes, the child found the missing keys' implies that the child  was dropped in the bushes, because there is a misplaced modifier. The correct meaning (the missing keys were dropped in the bushes) is easier to perceive by rewriting the sentence: "The child found the missing keys dropped in the bushes."
