Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Option B: I met him where he lived.
Explanation
An adjective clause functions as an adjective to modify a noun or pronoun.
Why Option B is correct: The clause "where he lived" acts as an adverb clause of place, describing where the meeting took place (modifying the verb "met"), rather than modifying a noun.
Why other options are incorrect:
Option A: "Who is truthful" is an adjective clause modifying the noun "man".
Option C: "Who is truthful" is an adjective clause modifying the noun "man".
Option D: "Which is a holy city" is an adjective clause modifying the noun "Prayagraj".
