A.
The "Phony War" (also called the Sitzkrieg or drôle de guerre) refers to the period after Britain and France declared war on Germany in September 1939 but before Germany's big western offensive in May 1940. There was little fighting on the Western Front—mostly mobilization, patrols, and blockade/naval actions—while both sides built up their forces.
