Instantiate returns an Object, you need to cast Transform.

line: 14

Transform clone = (Transform)Instantiate (prefab[Random.Range (0,prefabLength)]);
// or if you want to check for null and not just throw an exception.
Transform clone = Instantiate (prefab[Random.Range (0,prefabLength)]) as Transform;

Nice follow up Hoeloe

Not sure about C#, but you could try

Instantiate(object) as Transform;

or make prefab and clone a gameobject array instead.

Also, looking at the code, I’m not sure it knows what it’s instantiating.
