Solution
The correct option is C Strike the iron while it is hot.

In this case,
Option B is correct. The subordinate clause while it is hot modifies the verb 'strike' in the principal clause. The subordinate clause answers as to when we should strike the iron. Henceforth, while it is hot is a subordinate adverb clause as it behaves as an adverb..
Option A is incorrect as the sentences have been joined by using a subordinate adjective clause.
Option C is incorrect as the sentences have been joined into a simple sentence.
