Answer:

D. I prefer the shirt with the blue and white stripes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object.

In option D, the preposition is the word "with", and its respective object is "the blue and white stripes".

Colors are considered adjectives, given they provide a description for the characteristics of a noun; "blue and white" are the adjectives for the noun "stripes" - referring to the stripes on the shirt in question.
