Answer

D

E

Explanation

A relative clause begins with a relative word such as which, whose, or that and describes a noun. In B, “which took Miah months of saving money to buy” describes the car; in C, “whose parents recently opened the restaurant across the street” describes the boy; and in D, “that Kameron has had since he was ten years old” describes the bicycle. A and E contain descriptive phrases, but neither has a relative clause.
