The underlined clause from the given sentence is an adverb clause(Option B).
- This is a type of subordinate or dependent clause
- The main clause of the sentence is 'it might seem counterintuitive', while the word 'although' is the subordinating conjunction. It modifies the main clause and sets and shifts its boundaries
- The subordinate clause generally functions to add additional information to a sentence. It is often used to adequately represent the information and provides more context
- The subordinate clause 'although' functions as a condition wherein the meaning of the sentence changes entirely. It talks about how, in spite of what one might think, decreasing the limitations of smartphone use in a classroom might lead to an increased level of cooperation between students and teachers
