Answer:

Explanation:

It dangles, and neither a nor b fix the problem.

a

doesn't because your   your eyes are doing the laughing. This is less wrong than b

b)

Same problem with b, this time the tears are doing the laughing.

The way to fix the problem is not to use something that uses a comma before the subject. A worse example is Running up a tree, I saw a squirrel. You mean the squirrel, I hope. I don't run up trees. Never have.

So the way to fix the sentence is

I laughed until tears filled my eyes.
