The underlined phrase is an:

B. adjective phrase

Adjective phrase comprises words that describe either a noun or pronoun in a given sentence. This phrase is located before or after a noun or pronoun it modifies. The phrase “the true king” is used to describe the “elephant”, therefore the phrase functions as an adjective.
