The verb phrase is B. does not fight.

The verb phrase does not only consist of a verb, but also of words that depend on this verb, such as auxiliary verbs (such as does, in this case), particles, adverbs, or negative particles (such as no, in this case).

Grendel wouldn't be a part of this verb phrase, as it is the object in the sentence.
