it gives information about the subject of the sentence.
it explains why the speaker likes to read nonfiction.
it provides information about the verb in the sentence.
it describes the type of novel the speaker likes.

Explanation:

The underlined clause "that bring to life events in history" is a relative clause. Relative clauses are used to modify nouns. In this case, the noun is "novels". It gives more details about the kind of novels the speaker likes. It is not modifying the subject (I), not explaining a reason (so it's not explaining why the speaker likes to read non - fiction as there's no mention of non - fiction preference reason here), and not modifying the verb (like).

Answer:

It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.
