Option correct is D

I do not know when the flagpole was painted.


In this case, the pronoun <<when>> introduce a noun clause and its function is to be an adverb.

  1. ¿How can we distinguish when a relative is a relative pronoun or a relative adverb?

A relative adverb introduces a clause, which has as an antecedent a noun. Relative adverbs are usually used insted of a relative pronoun plus a preposition.

There are three main relative adverbs:

  • where
  • when
  • why.
