D. on a strike because fragments are incomplete sentences. Usually, fragments are pieces of sentences that have become disconnected from the main clause.

Answer:

D. on a strike

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the group of words that would be considered a fragment. A fragment is a group of words that does not express a whole idea or that does not have all the necessary elements of a sentence. For a sentence to be complete, it is necessary that it contains a subject and a verb. While all the other options include the two, option D lacks both of these.
