Answer:

But they do not form or make a complete meaningful sentence.

In the given options, the <u>example of a sentence fragment is the third option.</u> In it, the phrase is "<u><em>Barack Obama, who won the presidential election in 2008 and was inaugurated in 2009"</em></u> contains just a part of the whole sentence, meaning it left off the sentence in between without any resolution or end sentence. This <u>fragment contains just some bits of information about Obama and does not make a complete and meaningful sentence. </u>
