    A) phrase

    B) phrase

    C) clause

    Explanation:

    First we need to make a distinction between a phrase and a clause.

    A phrase is a part of sentence, a set of words, that lacks in subject, verb or both so it can never stand on its own. It can have several functions in a sentence depending on the piece of information it carries.

    A clause is a part of a sentence that has a subject and a verb and can either stand on its own as a complete sentence (independent clause) or not (dependent clause).

    A) This is the phrase because it doesn't have a subject and "walking" isn't a verb, but a gerund. Most likely it's an adverbial phrase telling how or why something happened. For example:

    Quickly walking to the store, Ian sprained his ankle.

    B) This is also a phrase because it only gives us a time frame; we don't know who will (or won't) perform an action nor what will (or won't happen). For example:

    I won't leave the house until next week.

    C) This is a clause; it has subject (they) and verb (tried). However it doesn't make a complete sentence, so it's a dependent clause:

    They were exhausted yet they tried.
