A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begin with a preposition and end with a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition.

Out of the options provided, the only phrase that is a prepositional phrase is:

A. In the woods

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In the woods is a prepositional phrase because it starts with the preposition "in" and ends with the noun "woods" which is the object of the preposition.

B. Heavy and awkward is not a prepositional phrase because it doesn't start with a preposition and it doesn't have an object of the preposition.

C. Small, compact car is not a prepositional phrase because it doesn't start with a preposition and it doesn't have an object of the preposition.

D. Didn't understand is not a prepositional phrase because it's a phrase formed by a contraction of two words, "did" and "not" and it doesn't have an object of the preposition.
