In the sentence I saw a man with binoculars.
Answer: C
'I saw a man with binoculars' has structural (syntactic) ambiguity, because the phrase 'with binoculars' can attach to the verb (I used binoculars to see the man) or to the noun phrase (the man had binoculars). The same words have two different structures.
It is not lexical ambiguity, since no single word has two meanings here. It is not phonological ambiguity, which would arise from sounds that can be heard as different words, and there is clearly an ambiguity, so option A is wrong.
