I already answered it as D. What is the answer? I'd like to know if I got it right.

I'm pretty sure it's C, since a participial phrase starts with a present or past participle (as does A C and D) and an infinitive phrase is something like "to walk" or "to clean." (A and D don't have that so...)

anonymous · Answer

And the participial phrase is actually an adjective that looks like a verb.
