Answer:
The correct option is C) by linking an independent clause with a dependent clause.
Explanation:
In the English language, an independent clause can be described as a clause which is complete and can generate meaning even without the dependent clause.
On the other hand, a dependent clause is a clause which is not complete and requires the independent clause to generate meaning.
A complex sentence is a type of sentence which will have an independent clause and one or more independent clause.
For example, 'I burned my hand but not the middle finger.'
