Solution

The correct option is C Even though the salad was covered in feta cheese

Subordinate clauses start with conjunctions or prepositions and cannot exist without the on the main clause. Here “even...cheese” is dependent on “Edward...it”. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
