Answer:

C) The territory´s emblematic stone, blue lazulite, looks bluer than the sky does on a clear summer day.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adverbial clause is a dependent clause used as an adverb within a sentence to indicate time, place, conditions, reasons, or contrasts.

These types of clauses usually contain a subject and a predicate.

The other options are examples of a who/which clauses while option C indicates contrast.

I hope this answer helps you.
