About a relative clause

Could I ask a question about the following sentence, please?


"They are working on robots that have super powers to do dangerous work for people, for example, saving people from fires. "


What is the relative clause of the sentence?


" that have super powers to do dangerous work for people, for example, saving people from fires"

or

"that have super powers to do dangerous work for people"

?


Thank you.

They are working on robots th at have super powers to do dangerous work for people , for example, saving people from fires. The relative clause is underlined. The expression "for example, saving people from fires" is not part of the relative clause, but a supplement set apart from the rest of the sentence.

  • They are working on robots th at have super powers to do dangerous work for people , for example, saving people from fires.
