The correct answer is B) preposition: under; object of the preposition: rocks.
The word under is the only preposition in this sentence, which is why B is the only correct answer.
In A, shy is an adjective. In C, darted is a verb. In D, the is an article.

The correct answer is B. Preposition is the word "under" and the object of the preposition is the word "rocks."

Preposition are words that link nouns or pronouns to other words in the sentence. It usually describes the position of something, the time when something happens. In this sentence, the word "under" tells us the position of the noun.
