Answer 2

Since you're getting up early

B. It answers the question why and modifies the verb take.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of the adverb is to answer a question while why it is used to modify the verb. Therefore modifiers are employed as an independent clause, and they do not form a complete and grammatical sentence with the support of other words. For instance, the above words do not constitute a conviction because of the nature of the adverb.

In other words, when adverbs are incorporated in a sentence, they lack any effect; instead, they only modify the verb by giving a reason.
