Solution

The correct option is B False
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 form a phrase as it has no subject or verb. Hence it isn't an adjective clause and the statement is false. Hence, option B is correct and A is incorrect.
