Bindependent clause

Verified Answer :

This is not an independent clause: it is dependent on the main phrase here, which is "Most of these animals stay under water".

The underlined clause tells us something about why they must stay under water; and sentences that tell us about the why are called the "adverb clauses" - the correct answer.
