A noun phrase is a word or a set of words including a noun, whose function in a sentence can be: to act as a subject, an object or a prepositional object.

Sentence A is not a noun phrase. it is a prepositional phrase functioning as the postmodifier of the noun phrase (a lovely bouquet).

Sentence B is a noun phrase functioning as the subject of the sentence.

Sentence C is a noun phrase functioning as a direct object.

Sentence D is not a noun phrase, as it is a dependent clause and has not nouns in it.
