The correct option is \boxed{\textbf{High up in the willow trees in the springtime}}.

Further Explanation:

The sentences which are incomplete and do not have a complete meaning in it are known as fragments. The words which collectively do not form any complete sense but they look like a sentence. Independent clauses are not present in the sentence fragments. Dependent clauses or phrases can be easily pointed in a sentence fragment. A sentence fragment looks like a sentence as it begins with a capital letter and ends with a period. But at the same time, the complete sense is absent in it. A sentence fragment does not have a complete sense in it. A sentence becomes a fragment when either the subject, verb or both are missing.

In the given sentences, the first and the third sentence is complete.

The second sentence is a sentence fragment. The complete sentences carry a complete sense in it while the second sentence does not contain a complete thought. Although it begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, still the meaning isn't clear. There is no independent clause in the sentence. Hence, it is an example of a sentence fragment. The complete meaning of the sentence remains unknown to the readers. The other two sentences carry complete sense in them.
