To identify the underlined phrase, we first need to understand what each option means.
1. Adjective phrase: A group of words that modifies a noun or pronoun in a sentence.
2. Adverb phrase: A group of words that modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb in a sentence.
3. Appositive phrase: A noun or pronoun that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun in a sentence.
In the given sentence, "The book on the table belongs to me," the underlined phrase is "on the table." This phrase tells us where the book is located and modifies the noun "book." Since it modifies a noun, the correct choice is an adjective phrase.
So the correct answer is: adjective phrase.
