The sentence that contains a verb phrase is D. "I shall be all that I am and more".

A verb phrase is the part of the sentence that generally contains a main verb and a modal or an auxiliary verb. This modal verb always comes before the main verb, which is in the base form. In this sentence, the verb phrase is "shall be" since it contains the modal verb "shall" and the main verb "be". Another example of a verb phrase is "must pass" in the sentence "I must pass this exam in order to go to university".
