Yes, you are correct! Option C is the most significant modification made by the Framers regarding the traditional doctrine of the separation of powers.

To arrive at this answer, we can analyze each option:

A) Including a two-chamber legislature (such as the House of Representatives and the Senate) is an important aspect of the U.S. government's structure, but it is not the most significant modification made by the Framers.

B) Defining legislative power precisely, while defining executive and judicial power in general terms, is indeed a characteristic of the separation of powers in the U.S. Constitution, but it is not the most significant modification.

C) Ensuring that the powers of the separate branches overlap, so that each can act as a check on the others, is indeed the most significant modification made by the Framers. This concept, known as checks and balances, helps prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful and maintains a system of accountability between the branches.

D) Granting the power of judicial review to the judiciary is also an important aspect of the U.S. system, but it is not the most significant modification made by the Framers. Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution and declare laws or actions unconstitutional.

In conclusion, the most significant modification made by the Framers in regards to the traditional doctrine of the separation of powers is ensuring that the powers of the separate branches overlap, so that each can better act as a check on the others (Option C).
