Answer:

3rd Option: Laughing like a group of hyenas, Adam and his friends ran through the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply put, an absolute phrase is a two-word combination—a noun and an –ing or –ed verb added to a sentence. Absolute phrases modify sentences, are commonly set apart by a comma, and aren't essential to a sentence, though they do provide additional detail. We don't need to know that Adam and his friends are laughing like hyenas, but it adds detail and keeps the sentence flowing. Hyenas is our noun (person, place, or thing), and laughing is our 'ing' verb (an action word).
