Answer :

The correct answer to the question is: B. Prepositional phrase Here's an explanation: 1. A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition (e.g., in, on, at, for, to) and ends with a noun or pronoun (object of the preposition). 2. This phrase functions as an adjective or adverb in a sentence, providing more information about nouns or pronouns. 3. For example, in the sentence "The book is on the table," the prepositional phrase is "on the table," where "on" is the preposition and "table" is the object of the preposition. Therefore, when you see a group of words that starts with a preposition and includes a noun or pronoun, you are dealing with a prepositional phrase.
