    The words are the following:

    B. Fragment.

    They are a sentence fragment, since there is no subject to be found. Who is sitting at the table? (No answer: no subject) A sentence needs a subject and a verb. The words at hand only have the latter. In other words, they lack a full sentence structure, which makes them incomplete to be called that.

    If it were a sentence, it would look like the following example:

    John is sitting right there at the table.

    John: subject (Who is sitting at the table? / Answer: John is.)

    is sitting: main verb (to sit) conjugated in present continuous tense.

    right there at the table: adverbial phrase of place (it does not belong to a basic sentence structure, that is, even if omitted, the sentence would still be a sentence).
