b) Adverb Clause
c) Noun Clause.​

Answer 1

The clause is the Adverb clause.

• Since these are dependent clauses, subordinating conjunction is required to link them to the rest of the sentence.
• They answer questions such as where, how, when and why. In the given sentence the clause type is condition as the word if is involved.
