The answer is "B": Prize is an object, won is a verb and A is a description of the subject.
But then thinking about it, the simple subject could be the prize, so go with that: its less obvious!

B. Contestant is the simple subject
tallest is adjective, won is verb, prize is object

The answer is D! There is only one simple subject THE prize.
The tallest contestant tells you there are OTHER contestants!

In this sentence, prize is the object, because it is being won. Won is the verb, and tellest is an adjective that describes the subject, contestant. So, B is the right answer.

Just ask yourself who did the action. Or, in this case - who won the prize?

B
Because the sentence is about the contestant.
I like doing your homework for you :P
