The answer to the question above is option D: MUSIC BLARING. This is the absolute phrase in the sentence above. Basically, when we say absolute phrase, this is the kind of phrase used in the sentence as a modifier, but does not require a conjunction to be connected to what it modifies. It is also often a participle. In this case, the participle is "blaring". Hope this helps.
