I think it is a subordinate clause since it would not make sense on its own and needs an independent or a main clause to support it. What do you think?

Yeah the answer is C. Subordinate clauses are formed when the clause itself cannot stand alone as a sentence and when subordinate conjunctions, such as "although," "because," "since," and "after," are included.
