考查名词性从句。句中that引导同位语从句，解释说明名词the patient’s fear。句意：医生做了许多来减轻病人他将死于这种疾病的恐惧。

这里应该是that引导的同位语吧。同位语一般跟在抽象名词的后面，对这个名词起到一个补充说明该抽象名词具体内容的作用。如：i don't know the fact that he won the first prize. 而这里也是一个用that引导的从句来说明抽象名词fear的具体内容。 至于为什么不选c， 如果选c 的话，那就是个定语从句，在定语从句里面of which 是表示所属关系，而这里没有所属关系。如：my uncle bought a big house of which the window face south.
