Like lambs to a slaughter suggests that the slugs (much like the sheep) have no idea that death comes soon, for the slugs either the birds will get them, they get dried out(?), or they risk being found by a human.

This is the original sentence: <span>In a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss.

A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.
