Explanation:

• A participle is a nonfinite verb form with some of the characteristics and functions of both verbs and adjectives in linguistics. Participle has been defined more narrowly as "a word derived from a verb and used as an adjective, as in a laughing face."
• The term "participle" is a traditional Greek and Latin grammatical term for corresponding verb forms in European languages and analogous forms in Sanskrit and Arabic grammar.
• Apart from adjectival modification, participles can serve a variety of functions across languages. The past participle is used to form the passive voice in European and Indian languages. In English, participles are often used in adverbial clauses and are associated with periphrastic verb forms.
• In non-Indo-European languages, the term "participle" refers to forms that are also known as converbs, gerunds, gerundives, transgressive, and nominalized verbs in complement clauses. As a result, the term "participles" has come to be associated with a wide range of syntactic constructions.

Thus the correct answer is Option C.
