Answer
A
when they arrived at the beach
B
the students who had never seen
C
the ocean before
D
ran toward the shore

Explanation

“When they arrived at the beach” is an adverbial dependent clause. It has a subject (“they”) and a verb (“arrived”), and “when” makes it dependent while telling when the students ran toward the shore. The phrase “who had never seen” describes the students rather than telling when or how the action happened.
