ANSWER
A Complex Sentence consists of one principal clause and any number of subordinate clauses.
A Noun Clause is a subordinate clause which does the work of a noun in a complex sentence.
In this case,
Option C is correct. The subordinate clause That the Earth is round acts as the subject of the verb is known in the principal clause. The subject is always either a noun or a pronoun. Henceforth, That the Earth is round is a subordinate noun clause as it behaves as a noun.
Option A is incorrect as the sentences have been joined by a subordinate adjective clause where the noun The Earth is being described.
Option B is incorrect as the sentences have been joined by a subordinate adverb clause which modifies the verb 'knows' in the principal clause.
Option D is incorrect as it's a simple sentence.
Correct answer
Everybody knows that the sun is a star.
