An adjective phrase modifies a noun or a pronoun.

The other choices would require an adverb or adverb phrase.

Explanation:

Diminutive in stature and soft of voice, Michelle was able to command the attention of the entire room with her enchanting and humorous wit.

In this sentence the adjective phrase: Diminutive in stature and soft of voice, modifies or describes the proper noun Michelle.

In this sentence, "Michelle" could also be replaced with the pronoun "she".
