Explanation:

• A noun clause functions as a noun (subject, object, etc.) and starts with words like that, what, why, etc.
• "Why they didn't return any of my phone calls or emails is the question I want answered": "Why they didn't return any of my phone calls or emails" is a noun clause acting as the subject.
• "Emily spent several days thinking about what she had to do in order to make a good grade": "what she had to do in order to make a good grade" is a noun clause acting as the object of "thinking about".
• The first option has a relative clause, the second has an adverbial clause, the fourth has an adverbial clause.
