The sentences that use an adverbial clause are:
C. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team.
E. So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad.
Option E contains an adverbial clause ("So that we would have enough left for tomorrow") that provides a reason for the action in the main clause. Option C includes the phrase "despite it being his first year on the team," which functions similarly to an adverbial clause by providing a circumstance related to Javy's appointment. Although "despite it being his first year on the team" is not a traditional adverbial clause (it’s more of a prepositional phrase), it serves to provide context in a similar way.
Thus, E is definitively correct, and C can be interpreted as correct based on its function.
