The correct answer is D. adjective clause; game.

Explanation:

A dependent adjective clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. It offers further description or information - similar to what an adjective does - about something that was mentioned in another sentence. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, which, or that. In the sentence we are studying here, the adjective clause is "which resulted in a 43 to 10 win." The purpose of this clause is to offer readers more information concerning the noun "game".
