can you exclude any options?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

i think a?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes sounds like it. It is a subordinate clause that modifies the word plants. B is an intersection on 2 clauses, and it is nonsense to even be a subordinate clause.... C "and we took a family vacation" (it is not modifying anything, it is just a subordinate clause) (replacing "while" with "and" just to show that while is a conjunction) D "the plants on our back porch" ... not a clause, no verb!
