The correct answer is: Phrase.

A phrase is one or more words that form a meaningful grammatical unit within a clause. (Not a complete sentence though)

দুই বা ততোধিক শব্দ মিলিয়ে সেই শব্দগুচ্ছটি যখন একটি নির্দিষ্ট  Parts of Speech এর অর্থ প্রকাশ করে, তখন তাকে Phrase বলে। 

প্রদত্ত বাক্যে, ‍a great star এই তিনটি আলাদা শব্দ মিলিয়ে  Phrase গঠন করেছে। যার অর্থ, একজন বিখ্যাত তারকা। 

মনে রাখতে হবে, 
- Phrase কোন পূর্ণাঙ্গ বাক্য নয়। Phrase এ কোন Finite verb থাকে না,  কিংবা  Subject+verb structure টিও থাকে না।

Prepositional Phrase
A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition followed by its object (usually a noun phrase).
Example: A singer with passion. 

Prepositional phrases function as either adjective modifying nouns or adverbs modifying verbs.
- As an adjective: I know the policeman with the radio. 
- As an adverb: Lee lives in that fridge. (These types of prepositional phrases are adverbial prepositions)

অন্য দিকে, 
Prepositional verb এবং Phrasal verb ও দুটি আলাদা বিষয়। যেমন: 

- Passed away= (Cease to live) She passed away from cancer" , it's a phrasal verb not a preposition. (এখানে শব্দের আভিধানিক অর্থ পরিবর্তিত হয়ে, সম্পূর্ণ নতুন একটি অর্থ প্রদান করছে। 
- looking at = (Focus on as an example) She is looking at the white board= Its a prepositional verb.  (এখানে শব্দের মৌলিক অর্থ পরিবর্তিত হয় নি)

On the other hand,

Phrasal prepositional verb: 
- It is the verb and the first element, a particle, constitutes a phrasal verb, which is followed by a preposition.
Typical examples of phrasal prepositional verbs include:
Do away with , Look up to , Run up against , Looking forward to.

Clause:
A clause is a part of a sentence. There are two main types: independent (main clauses), dependent (subordinate clauses).

Clauses can perform three distinct functions. They can operate as: 

Noun clause: She completely understood everything he said.
Adjective clause: My friend who rides a motorcycle said it’s a great weekend to ride.
Adverb clause: She fixed the sink without facing difficulty.

Types of clauses: 

Independent clauses 
A clause in a complex sentence that can stand alone as a complete sentence.
In other words,
An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own as a distinct sentence.
Examples: 
- I love eating cookies.
- My dog barks a lot. 

Dependent clause.
It needs an independent clause to finish or complete the sentence.   
Ex. When I got home, I ate dinner. 
Dependent clauses are sometimes known as subordinate clauses. Example: When I grow up
To turn these dependent clauses into full sentences, you need to combine them with independent clauses: এরা নিজের অর্থ নিজে প্রকাশ করতে পারেনা, এদের অপর একটি Independent clause এর সাহায্যের প্রয়োজন হয়।   
Keep in mind that, Whenever the dependent clause comes first in a complex sentence, it’s followed by a comma. 

Kinds of Dependent clause: 

Dependent or subordinate clauses can be divided again into 3 categories: 

1. Adverb clause
2. Adjective clause 
3. Noun clause.

Source: English Grammar in use by Raymond Murphy & A passage to the English Language by S.M Zakir Hussain

The Lady came last night. The underlined word is a noun phrase. But here in this sentence it is being used as an Adverb. 

A noun phrase consists of a noun or pronoun, which is called the head, and any dependent words before or after the head. Dependent words give specific information about the head.

Nouns and noun phrases can act as adverbials – that is, they can modify or add information to a verb. When noun phrases act in such a role, they describe time, place, quantity, or manner. Ex: He arrived this morning.
