Answer 1

The first one!

an adverb clause describes how something is done, where, or why.

and here

"because she enjoyed painting"

describes why she did what she did - the why!

Answer 2

An adverb clause is a dependent clause (subordinate conjunction+subject+verb) that functions as an adverb, answering how?, when?, where? or why?

Within this list, there are two sentences that contain an adverb clause:

• Darla set up a studio because she enjoyed painting - Adverb of reason.
• As Aron was having a midnight snack, he heard a loud noise coming from the basement - Adverb of time.
