After sampling a few cake samples, the bride picked the best flavor.
B
After tasting cake samples, the bride picked the best flavor.
C
After tasting the cakes, the woman getting married picked the best cake flavor.
D
The sentence is correct as written.

Explanation

The sentence repeats the idea of sampling and samples, and “the woman who is getting married” can be shortened to “the bride.” Choice B revises both phrases: “After tasting cake samples, the bride picked the best flavor.” Choice A still repeats “sampling” and “samples,” while C keeps a longer phrase for “bride.”
