Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - where the battle was fought

An adjective clause (also called a relative clause) is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. It usually begins with a relative pronoun like who, whom, whose, which, that, where, etc.

In the sentence:"The spot where the battle was fought is unknown."

  • The noun being modified is "spot".

  • The clause "where the battle was fought" tells us which spot is being referred to.

  • Therefore, it's an adjective clause.
