An absolute phrase is defined as a modifier or a modifier with other words, that is being connected to a sentence or a noun without using any conjunction. The sentence that grammatically uses an absolute phrase is option A. The school bus drove over the hill, its lumbering yellow form full of raucous students.

Since an absolute phrase modifies a noun, and is separated from the rest of the sentence using a comma usually, with no conjunctions, the correct answer is option A. The school bus drove over the hill, its lumbering yellow form full of raucous students.

This one is right because it contains a comma and there is no conjunction (and) as we can see in the third sentence.
