In one understanding, each of them have a verb phrase, as a verb phrase can involve a verb and it's dependencies so all of them have a verb phrase:

A. The crowd roared as the bull charged.
B. June was a collector of memorabilia.
C. I shall be all that I am and more.
D. I believed every word he said.

Sometimes, a verb phrase is seen in a very strict sense; a s verb and parts, such as auxiliary verbs. Then the correct answer is


C. I shall be all that I am and more.

Then the correct answer is "shall be" - C
