A sentence fragment is an unfinished part of a sentence - it isn't complete, and doesn't feel like a full sentence. Having this in mind, the correct answer is (3) Especially with working parents in our neighborhood - this fragment doesn't even have a verb, so it cannot be a sentence.
Other examples are complete sentences.
