C Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks to identify the false statement, and option C contains a grammatical error: 'The reason... was because' is redundant. Correct usage is either 'The reason... was that' or simply '...because'. Options A, B, and D show grammatically correct sentence structures with proper subordination.
