Solution
The correct option is A True An adjective clause is a group of words that contain a subject and a
verb, and it functions as an adjective that modifies a noun or a
pronoun. Adjective clauses usually begin with relative pronouns such as
who, whom, whose or a relative adverb like when, where and so on. The underlined words "that work hard" forms an adjective clause that modifies the noun "people"; 'that' is a relative pronoun that performs as a subject and "work" is the verb. Hence the statement is true and option A is correct, B is incorrect.
