The correct answer is B. Adverbs can occupy several positions in the sentence

Explanation:

An adverb is a type of word whose main function is to modify other words including verbs, adjectives or even another adverb. Additionally, adverbs have multiple purposes including to express time, degree, place, frequency, etc, that mainly are part of the context in a sentence and that give information about the words they modify. Examples of adverbs include words such as impatiently (adverb of manner), never (adverb of frequency), here (adverb of place) or today (adverb o time). Also, as adverbs can modify different types of words and provide information in different ways, the position of adverbs is not fixed, instead they can appear in almost any type of position depending on the type of adverb and the type of word they modify.
