Answer 2

A dependent clause cannot stand on its own. A clause means that it has a finite verb, meaning that there are no infinitives and participles/gerunds only, but a finite verb.
Having that in mind, the dependent clause here would be D. who works at that desk, which means that the rest of the sentence - The woman is absent today is independent.
