Answer:

B). I found a large turtle in a ditch. On the way to school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fragments are the incomplete pieces of a sentence that have been separated from the main clause and thus offer incomplete thoughts and leaves the reader wondering. Sentence fragments require more explanation to propose a complete thought. In the given question, the option that exemplifies a sentence fragment is option B as it offers an incomplete thought in 'on the way to school' and arises the obvious questions to complete the thought. This fragment could be mended if we reverse the order of the sentence and then the complete meaningful sentence reads as :

"On the way to school, I found a large turtle in a ditch."
