Solution
The correct option is A in the hills. Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.
Using option B will justify all the above rules. 'In the hills' is a prepositional phrase as 'in' is the preposition and 'hills' is the object.
