    The entire verb phrase would actually be "Has been growing wheat", but C is the closest to this, so I'd go with that.

    Explanation:

    The verb phrase is "the part of the sentence containing the verb and any direct or indirect object, but not the subject".

    None of the other answer choices have a verb in them, so it must be C. has been growing.
