The correct answer is D. without any clues

Step-by-step explanation:

In grammar, an adverb phrase refers to a set of words that together act as an adverb, this means they tell the reader about the verb usually by explaining how an action takes place. In the case of the phrase " Addy guessed her friends' responses" the best adverb phrase to complete this is "without any clues" considering this is the only set of words that act as an adverb answering to how the action took place or how did Addy guess her friends' responses, also as the verb is "guessed" this is the only option that fits in the context of the sentence.

Answer:

D. without any clues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adverb phrases describe a verb, adverb or adjective, and answer the question how, where, when or why something has happened. In this case, the prepositional phrase functioning as adverbial phrase without any clues explains how Addy guessed her friends' responses.

The rest of the choices are incorrect because they do not illustrate how, when, where or why the action guessed is performed.
