Solution

The correct option is A that the exam would be delayed
A subordinate clause is usually introduced by conjunction and is dependent on the main clause. Here the subordinate clause is "that...delayed" dependent on "We all knew". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit the description, hence incorrect.
