我想问C为什么不对？  某论坛给出的解析是，句子不能做主语，我印象中好像见过句子做主语的用法

谢谢解答！
请看一下我补充的那道题目的C选项。也就是说，句子做主语时that不能省略？

我不确定什么是主语从句，但是我记得有that+句子充当主语或宾语的用法。所以句子做主语的时候that不能省略是吗？那作宾语的时候呢？

宾语从句中that一般情况可省 ,但that在引导宾语从句时也并不是任何情况下都可以省略。在以下情况下，that不能省略。

1． Everybody could see what happened and that Tom was frightened.(and连接两个宾语从句，that宾语从句放在and的后面时，that不能省略。)

大家都会看出所发生的事情并知道Tom非常害怕。

2．I know nothing about him except that he is from the south.(that引导的宾语从句作介词宾语时，that不能省略。)

对他我一无所知，只知道他是南方人。

3．That he ever said such a thing I simply don’t believe. (that从句位于句首时，that不可省略。)

我简直不相信他曾说过这样的话。

4． We decided, in view of his special circumstances, that we would admit him for a probationary period. (主句谓语动词与that从句之间有插入语，that不可省略。)

问题是， C 不是主语从句吧。。。 错误不是在逻辑吗？  提炼一下变成了 a  rhinoceros is a development.  但要说的是它的brith才是development。 求教这题主语从句咋跑出来的？
