Explanation

A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate expressing a complete thought. A, B, E, and F each do this: for example, in F, “some regions” is the subject and “have banned fireworks” is the predicate. C is only a prepositional phrase, and D is a noun phrase; neither expresses a complete thought.
