A. the furniture; modifies store
B. furniture store delivery; modifies truck
C. at ten o'clock; modifies came
D. came at; modifies truck
Answer (2)
I would say C. at ten o'clock; modifies came. Adverb phrase always involves when, where, or how. In this sentence, you could ask when did the truck came? Then you adverb phrase would it came at ten o'clock.
