D) Prepositional phrase

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase is a group of words functioning as a single unit and consisting of a preposition and an object of the preposition (like a noun or a pronoun), and which may contain modifiers of that object, such as articles like “the” and determiners like “these.” This type of phrase can act as adjectives when they modify nouns or as adverbs when they modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

“Of the print” is a prepositional phrase because it has a preposition: of, an object of the preposition: print, and a modifier of that object: the. Furthermore, it is an adjective phrase because it gives us more information about the noun “the general pattern.”
