Its def not we so what are you thinking? A or D D definition - prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object. A preposition sits in front of (is “pre-positioned” before) its object.

OpenStudy (frozen15):

Well I can tell you that the object or object of a prepositional is mainly coaches but as we know "coaches" may be the direct object of the sentence but I'm thinking as for the answer A cause the object or DIRECT OBJECT was already seen as it was "coaches" so A is correct !!
