No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.
Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
I think C would be the best answer.

1.claim It is often assumed that firms are simply concerned to maximize profits: that they are not concerned with broader issues of social responsibility.
2.support It is then argued, however, that competitive forces could result in society benefiting from the self-interested behaviours of firms: i.e. that profit maximization will lead to social efficiency under conditions of perfect competition and the absence of cost.
3.claim But, as we have seen, in the real world, markets are not perfect and there is often cost.
4.support Many forms of market failure can be attributed directly to business practices that could not be classified as ‘socially responsible’: advertising campaigns that seek to misinform or in some way deceive the consumer; monopoly producers exploiting their monopoly positions through charging excessively high prices; the conscious decision to ignore water and air pollution limits; knowing that the chances of being caught are slim.
