This choice correctly uses the -ING modifier to combine the two sentences into one cohesive sentence. The subject "woman" is followed by the -ING verb "sitting," which describes her state while also stating that she watched the fireworks.

Answer: B is also correct. It also uses the -ING modifier, but places "sitting in a lawn chair on the roof" after "watched the fireworks." While the order of the phrases is slightly different, the meaning of the two sentences is still effectively combined.
