This is a complex sentence which consists of a dependent or subordinate clause and an independent clause.

'If you finish your yard work' -- dependent clause

'you can take the car to the movie' -- independent clause.

Answer:

The clause in this sentence is an:

adverb clause

Step-by-step explanation:

An adverb clause is the type of clause that is dependant and complements an independent clause to provide further information about it by modifying a verb or an adjective with the whole sentence. In other words, the whole dependant clause becomes an adverb to modify the verb, the adjective, or even another adverb.
