The sentence that contains both an adjectival phrase and an adverbal phrase is:

B. The athletes made a surprisingly complete recovery from the accident, despite the doctor's prediction.

In this sentence:

  • "surprisingly complete" is an adjectival phrase describing "recovery."
  • "from the accident" functions as an adverbal phrase indicating the circumstances of the recovery.

This combination makes option B the correct choice.
