Answer
A
independent clause
B
noun clause
C
adverb clause
D
adjective clause

Explanation

“Who organized the first team-Frisbee match” describes Joel Silver by telling us which person is meant. A clause that modifies a noun or pronoun is an adjective clause; “who” also introduces this relative clause. It is not independent because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
