carrying the grand piano up the stairs was managed by the movers.
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The introductory phrase "Though incredibly heavy and difficult to maneuver" describes a physical object. "The grand piano" is the correct subject.
Choice A is incorrect because "the movers" are not described as the heavy object. Choice C is incorrect because "the stairs" are not the object being maneuvered. Choice D is incorrect because "carrying the grand piano" is an action, not the heavy object itself.
