The sentence fragment among the options given is B.) "High up in the willow trees in the springtime."
To distinguish a sentence fragment, we can look for the presence of a subject and a predicate. A subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and a predicate is the verb or action connected to the subject.
In option B, there is no clear subject or complete predicate. Instead, there is a prepositional phrase "High up in the willow trees" that does not contain a verb and does not function as a complete sentence on its own. Therefore, option B is a sentence fragment.
