Solution
A participle is that form of the verb which acts as both a Verb and an Adjective.
A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed.
Since, all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.
Participle phrases always function as adjectives,adding description to the sentence.

Option C is correct. 'Driven by hunger' is the participle phrase which describes the pronoun ' he'. The past participle 'driven' introduces the participle phrase.
Option A is incorrect as 'he stole a piece of bread' is the principal part or the sentence containing the finite verb stole'.
Option B is incorrect because 'a piece of bread' is a phrase but does not contain any participle.
Option D is incorrect.
