So great a fire raged that London was burnt down.
Answer: D
The underlined clause is an adverb clause.
In 'So great a fire raged that London was burnt down', the clause 'that London was burnt down' tells the result of the fire raging so greatly. It modifies the main clause and is linked by the 'so ... that' pattern, which introduces an adverb clause of result (or consequence).
The principal clause is 'So great a fire raged'. The 'that' clause is not a noun clause, since it is not a subject or object, and not an adjective clause, since it does not describe a noun.
