The correct answer is B. "in the refrigerator" is the prepositional phrase from the sentence.
The correct prepositional phrase in the sentence is "in the refrigerator."
To determine the prepositional phrase, we need to identify a word that shows location or direction (preposition) followed by a noun or pronoun (object of the preposition).
In this case, "in" is the preposition and "the refrigerator" is the object of the preposition. Therefore, the prepositional phrase is "in the refrigerator."
So the answer is B. "in the refrigerator."
