You are correct! The participle phrase in the sentence "Sandy was stunned to find she'd won the contest" is "stunned."
To identify the participle phrase, you can look for a verb form that ends in "-ed," "-en," or "-ing" and functions as an adjective to describe a noun or pronoun in the sentence. In this case, "stunned" is the past participle form of the verb "stun," and it describes Sandy. The phrase "to find she'd won the contest" is actually an infinitive phrase, not a participle phrase.
So the correct answer is B. Stunned.
