A.
The relative clause is "who spoke for one-half hour"


Relative clauses are clauses added on to a main clause that provide additional information about a noun. They cannot stand on their own but must be part of a sentence. They are introduced by relative pronouns like "who" or "that" or "which".

In your case, the MAIN clause is "The audience applauded the ambassador". The RELATIVE clause is "who spoke for one-half hour". It provides additional information about the noun "ambassador" and is introduced by the relative pronoun "who".
