    The correct answer is D. nonessential past participial phrase.

    The phrase broken in two places is nonessential - it means that if it were deleted from the sentence, the meaning would stay the same and it wouldn't change. Nonessential elements are usually set off by commas. This is also a past participial phrase because broken is past participle - present participle would be breaking.
