The underlined clause is most probably "who had worked with the business person". It tells more information about the noun the Egyptologist. And since it describes a noun, it is therefore an adjective.
A. Adjective Clause
Hope this helps.

So the clause is "who had worked with the business person."
You can ask "why did they put the clause in here" or "what's the purpose of this clause?"
Well it describes the Egyptologist, and Egyptologist is a noun.
And adjectives describe nouns.
Your answer is A. adjective clause.
