The correct answer is C) in the living room. An adverb usually denotes place, or time, of the action happening. So, where do the parents read? - In the living room. Since there is no verb here, it is a phrase, if it had a verb, it would be a clause.

A is a fragment.

B is also a fragment.

D is a noun phrase.
