This is not an independent clause: it is dependent on the main phrase here, which is "Most of these animals stay under water".

The underlined clause tells us something about why they must stay under water; and sentences that tell us about the why are called the "adverb clauses" - the correct answer.

5. while crossing the street. while he was crossing the street

6. relative pronoun: whom antecedent: cousin

Appositive: Two nouns in a row, the second one gives a bit more dentification or iinformation about the first one.

Infinitive: the base form of a verb with to preceding the verb. Used in places where nouns, adverbs or adjectives could be used.

I would like to go with you. (direct object.)

We waited to cross the street. (adverb)

The meeting to discuss the proposal will be on Tuesday at 9 AM. (adjective)

Gerund: present participle form of a verb always ending in -ing used where a noun or pronoun would go. His favorite pastime is dreaming about sailboats. (predicate nominative)

Elliptical clause: Can be confusing if the missing words are unclear.

The elliptical clause often makes more sense when placed directly before the subject of the main clause that has been ellipsed:

While crossing the street, he found a dollar bill.

In Act II, Scene 2, after he murders Duncan, Macbeth asks, "Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand?

fenix001 [56]

It reveals the great depth of Macbeth's guilt, suggesting that all the water in the ocean cannot cleanse him of it.

Macbeth raises this question after he has killed Duncan. Therefore, he figuratively has "blood on his hands". This is a figure of speech that indicates someone is guilty of murder. Water often symbolizes purity or a cleansing. When people are baptized, they are covered in water to symbolize the washing away of sins. In Macbeth's question, he reveals that he may not be cleansed or forgiven for his sin of murder.
