Correct Answer:
Option B —

Why the other options are incorrect:
A) Noun Clause: Functions as a noun in the sentence (e.g., subject or object), which is not the case here.
C) Adverbial Clause: Modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb to show time, cause, condition, etc. (e.g., "when I got home").
D) Main Clause: The main independent clause in this sentence is "The book is missing".
