Solution
The correct option is D in dark places. 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 D will justify all the above rules. 'In dark places' is a prepositional phrase as 'in' is the preposition and 'places' is the object.
