A subordinate clause is defined as the clause that needs the independent clause because it does not convey a complete thought. Based on the given sentence above, there is no subordinate clause, since the sentence is an example of a compound sentence having two independent clause connected by the coordinating conjunction "because". Hope this answer helps.
The theme would be D) Kindness will be repayed tenfold
hope this helps :)
