Answer:

C. Infinitive

Step-by-step explanation:

To satisfy his hunger is an infinitive phrase because it has the "to" in it. It wouldn't be a prepositional phrase because those refer to the location of sometime. It wouldn't be an adverb because adverbs refer to time. It wouldn't be an adjective because it isn't describing something. So it would be to be an infinitive.

Hope this helps :)
