Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Infinitive are usually regarded as prepositions; words that connects verbs to her subjects.

However preposition phrases are expressions beginning with prepositions like 'to avoid doing her home work.."; this expression do not have a finite verb- a verb that has a time bound.

So in option B- this expression has been used.
