Answer:

The correct answer is D: The children were roaming through the field without a care in the world.

Explanation:

In this example, a present participle is a part of the verb in past continuous tense. In the examples A and B, the present participle is used as a noun, while C uses it as an adjective.

In the last example, present participle is used as a verb in past continuous tense, preceded by the auxiliary verb "was".
