Correct answer: "Running to the goal, the soccer player kicks the ball in and scores a point."

Explanation: The participial phrase "Running to the goal" correctly modifies "the soccer player." Other choices either make the phrase incorrectly modify "the ball" or use a passive construction that doesn't match the original subject.
