The sentence that contains an adverbial clause is:
A. Whether students have enough time to rest depends on how much homework they’re assigned.
In this sentence, "whether students have enough time to rest" functions as a noun clause, and it serves as the subject. However, if the focus is specifically on the presence of an adverbial clause, none of the options provided contains a traditional adverbial clause. An adverbial clause typically modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, indicating when, where, why, how, or under what condition something occurs. In the given options, none fit that definition precisely. However, option A is perhaps the closest to containing a dependent clause related to the condition (whether) of the subject.
