The correct option is $\boxed{\textbf{D. dependent Clause}}$ .

Further Explanation:

A dependent clause refers to a group of words which do not have complete sense. Since the meaning of the sentence is not clear, therefore such group of words is not considered to be a sentence.

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb both but does not contain the complete meaning. It is also known as the subordinating clause. It gives additional information about the sentence but cannot form a complete sense alone.

An example of the dependent clause is 'When we received enough rain'. In this example, the subject is 'we' and 'get' is the verb'. But, they do not express a complete thought. Hence, it is an example of a dependent clause.

A dependant clause helps in modifying the independent clause in the sentence. There are three types of dependent clauses, the adjective clauses, the adverbial clause, and the noun clause.

When the dependant clause act as an adjective in a sentence, it is termed as the Adjective clause.When the dependant clause act as an adverb in a sentence, it is termed as the Adverbial clause. When the dependant clause act as a noun in a sentence, it is termed as the Noun clause.

Subordination conjunction or a relative pronoun joins the dependent clause to the independent clause in the sentence.
