The underlined phrase in the sentence is an adjectival phrase. An adjectival phrase is sentence that include an adjective which modifies a noun or a pronoun in that sentence.

A prepositional phrase is a group of words together that consist of

•a preposition,

•its object,

•Any words that modify the object.

In any given sentence, prepositional phrases can work in three different ways, as- a noun, an adjective, an adverb. And if any prepositional phrase acts as an adjective it becomes an adjectival phrase.

The word spirit acts as a noun, and the preposition for tells us the relation between team and spirit. Therefore, it is an adjectival phrase.

The rest of the options are incorrect as for is not behaving as an infinitive phrase or an adverbial phrase or a gerund phrase.

... but sometimes Cooper’s spirit for his team was not enough for a win.

an adjectival phrase

Explanation:

The prepositional phrase for his team consists of the preposition for and the object of the preposition his team.

In a sentence, prepositional phrases can function in three ways: as a noun, as an adjective, or as an adverb.

If a prepositional phrase functions as an adjective, it is an adjectival phrase.

In this sentence, the preposition for is telling us the relationship between the team and the spirit. Since the word spirit is a noun, this is an adjectival phrase.

Once again:

the prepositional phrase for his team functions as an adjective because it modifies the noun spirit. It is an adjectival phrase.
