(B) - Just inside the lobby of the Air and Space Museum , the Wright brothers' plane and Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis.

Explanation:

"Sentence fragment" is term defined when the sentence is not complete in form. It is a collection of words to form a sentence but it is not a complete sentence. There is always a missing word or verb and they do not convey a complete meaning to the sentence.

"Just inside the lobby of the Air and Space Museum , the Wright brothers' plane and Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis".

The above sentence does not provide a complete sentence. It does not convey any meaning to the reader. It is an incomplete sentence from which the reader cannot derived any meaning from.

Thus the sentence fragment is - --

(B) - Just inside the lobby of the Air and Space Museum , the Wright brothers' plane and Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis.
