Final answer:

The correct answer is option d: 'Would have never stopped rapping,' as it includes a modal, an auxiliary, and a main verb, making it a verb phrase.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of a verb phrase is a group of words that functions as the verb in a sentence and may contain main verbs, auxiliaries, or modals. The correct answer to this question is option d: 'Would have never stopped rapping,' which includes the modal 'would,' the auxiliary 'have,' and the main verb 'stopped' that together create a verb phrase describing an action that didn't occur. In contrast, option a is simply an action, option b is not grammatically coherent, and option c is incorrect because there is indeed a verb phrase present in the options provided.
