D. Looking up from his computer monitor, mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.

Answer 1

Looking up from his computer monitor, Jason mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone. Complete predicate: mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.

Answer 2

The complete predicate in this sentence is A. mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.
B and C aren't correct, because they aren't complete predicates - something is missing.
D isn't correct, because looking up from his computer monitor is not a predicate, it is an adverb phrase.
