Which sentence includes a restrictive clause?

A restrictive clause gives essential information that identifies the noun it describes. In “The ceramic cups Birgit bought at the garage sale are all chipped,” the clause “Birgit bought at the garage sale” tells us which cups are meant. The clause in D is nonrestrictive because “which we study in 11th grade” adds extra information about American literature rather than identifying it.
