The correct answer: They will buy the house (provided that the owner repairs the roof). The adverb clause is a part of a sentence that functions like an adverb, in this case it is modifying the action "buy". It is a clause because it has a subject and a verb, namely "the owner" and "repairs" respectively. Also, adverb clauses are typically linked by subordinators, in this sentence it is "provided that".

The adverb clause in the sentence would be "provided that the owner repairs the roof" since this modifies and clarifies the meaning and purpose of the main verb, "will buy".
