The plural "s" is a morpheme because it changes the meaning of the word it is added to (e.g. cat vs. cats). The other options are not morphemes as they do not carry meaning on their own. The word "called" is made up of two morphemes (call + ed), the sound /th/ is a phoneme, and the /r/ sound is also a phoneme.
