C). Infinitive.Explanation:As per the question, the underlined phrase(assumed as 'to travel to the city') exemplifies an infinitive which is illustrated as the basic form of the verb without any modulation links it to the tense or the specific subject(noun or pronoun). Infinitives usually begin with 'to' and function as an adjective, adverb, direct or indirect object, etc. In the given sentence, the underlined phrase('to travel to the city') is functioning as an infinitive phrase beginning with 'to' that serves to modify the verb. Therefore, it is acting as an adverb in the sentence. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

The underlined phrase is a verb phrase. This is the case because the head of the phrase is the transitive verb to receive which, in this case, is in the past simple form. The transitive verb in question, as I have said, is a transitive verb which takes two arguments: the NP "the famous physicist who discovered the element" and the NP "much acclaim and many prestigous awards".
