Explanation:

Prepositional phrases are those phrases that start a sentence with any of the prepositions and end the sentence with a noun or even a pronoun. The usage of the preposition and the nouns in the beginning and end of the sentence determines the correct prepositional phrasing of the sentence.

In the sentence provided, option D reads-

After the party ended, Marcia placed all the trash in the garbage or in the recycling bin.

"After" is the preposition that shows the time of the event, and the "recycling bin" is a noun, thus is the right answer for the use of a prepositional phrase in the sentence.

The other sentences are all wrong as they have no preposition in their beginning words nor do they have a noun in the end of their sentences.
