It should be A since a participial phrase is a type of Verb to modify a noun .

Answer:

The participial phrase from the sentence is "removing his glasses".

Explanation:

A participle begins with a present or past participle. If the participle is present it ends in -ing, and if it is a regular verb its past participle form ends in -ed. A participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers.  In this case, the participle removing takes the NP "his glasses" as its direct object.
