Answer:

C: appositive phrase

Step-by-step explanation:

The words 'the school bus driver' in the passage is an appositive phrase. Appositive means information or a description following a noun or noun phrase . In this case, the proper noun John, after a comma, is followed by an extra information that helps the reader to know which John the writer is writing about.
