    D. “I” is a nominative pronoun and is used as a subject of a sentence or clause, while “me” is an objective pronoun and used as an object.

    WRONG The forest ranger suggested to Phil and I

    WRONG The forest ranger suggested to I

    CORRECT The forest ranger suggested to Phil and me

    CORRECT The forest ranger suggested to me

  • d. it should be Phil and Me because if Phil wasn't there then the forest ranger would suggest to ME that we... blah blah... the forest ranger would not suggest to I. get it?

    It is most definitely D.

    There is no need for punctuation between "trail" and "and" and there is no need for punctuation between "picnic" and "when."
