Explanation:

The correct option is “The cat playfully chased the mouse”. This sentence is correct as it maintains the proper subject-verb-object order, uses the adverb "playfully" appropriately, and presents a clear and coherent description of the scenario.

 

"The cat chased playfully the mouse"

This statement is  incorrect because the adjective "playfully" should be before the verb "chased," in order to form a correct sentence.
