Solution
The correct option is A Past Participle Phrase
Gerunds are the words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. The participle phrase begins with a present or past participle and acts as an adjective in the sentence. The present participle words end with -ing. The past participles usually end with -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.
'Covered' given in the sentence is an example of the past participle as 'ed' is used at the end. It is acting as an adjective and modifying the noun 'clouds'. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
