Which of the following is NOT a fragment?

(A) Flying from New York to North Carolina, Betsy, always bringing her good-luck charms, a rabbit's foot and a rubber duck. - no main verb in the sentence

(B) When the pen, a black and metal item purchased at the stationary store, ran out of ink. - Only Dependent clauses are over here

(C) During the violent storm, which ruined homes, the wind, which blew the chimney off of my house, reached record speeds. - Correct formation with main verb

(D) An athlete who was born in Venezuela but raised in the United States, able to speak both Spanish and English. - Helping verb "was" is missing, making the sentence miss out for the main verb

(E) If Maurice really wanted to be a cowboy, then giving up his former ambition to become a rockstar and to dye his hair blonde. - No main verb in this sentence
