The MOST accurate definition of a clause is:
C: A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that can stand alone.
This definition refers specifically to an independent clause, which can function as a complete sentence. There are also dependent clauses, which cannot stand alone, but option C captures the essence of what a clause is more generally by including the possibility of it standing alone.
