Answer:

C. will be forced

Step-by-step explanation:

An adverb clause is a group of related words that have at least a subject and a verb, and whose function is to modify or add detail to adjectives, verbs or other adverbs. This type of clause often answers questions such as "Why?", "How?", "When?", "Where?" and "In what circumstances?"

In the sentence provided, the adverb clause is "Unless we hear from you by June 1" and it modifies the main action "will be forced" by giving detail of under what circumstances or when "we will be forced to cancel the subscription."
