Great answer above. There is also another prepositional phrase as well. “Of wiggling pups”. Of is the preposition, pups is the noun and object of the preposition and wiggling is the adjective. It isn’t a choice, of course, but it’s good to know just in case there is a question in the future that allows for more than one answer.

Answer: from the group

Explanation: Prepositional phrase is a type of phrase which consists of a preposition and an object. It usually begins with the preposition and it is the main part of the phrase. The second part of the phrase is an object which is a noun or a pronoun. In a sentence, this phrase most often acts as an adverbial.

So in this case from is a preposition and the group is the object, together they form a prepositional phrase.
