Actually, the correct answer is B) prepositional phrase.

To determine the correct answer, we need to break down the sentence and identify the different parts.

"The U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia."

In this sentence, "from Russia" is a prepositional phrase. The word "from" is the preposition, and "Russia" is the object of the preposition. Prepositional phrases provide additional information about nouns, pronouns, or verbs in a sentence. In this case, the prepositional phrase is explaining where Alaska was purchased from.

A participial phrase is a group of words that includes a participle (a verb form that acts as an adjective) and any objects or modifiers related to it. There is no participial phrase present in the given sentence.

A verb phrase is a group of words that includes the main verb and any helping verbs or auxiliary verbs. In this sentence, "purchased" is the main verb, but there are no helping or auxiliary verbs present.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) prepositional phrase.
