    "by the door"

    Explanation:

    A prepositional phrase usually comprises of a preposition, its object (noun, pronoun, gerund) and a modifier of the object. It functions as an adjective or adverb in the sentence that modifies either the verb or the noun in the sentence. In the given statement, the prepositional phrase employed is "by the door" which evidently justifies the above-provided claim. It begins with a preposition 'by' which is followed by its object 'door' and it's modifier 'the'. The prepositional phrase in the given sentence functions as an adverb that modifies the verb 'waited' in the sentence and it also answers the question 'waited where?"
