The participial phrase in the sentence is "Rising early".

To identify the participial phrase, you need to look for a verb form that ends in -ing and functions as an adjective to modify a noun in the sentence. In this case, "rising" is the verb form that ends in -ing, and it modifies the pronoun "I," describing when or how the action is happening. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Rising early.
