In linguistics, an adverbial phrase is a group of two or more words operating adverbially, meaning that their syntactic function is to modify a verb, an adjective, or an adverb. Adverbial phrases are phrases that do the work of an adverb in a sentence. I would say your answer is B: Adverb Phrase. I looked up the definition to sort of help understand it better
