Answer:

B

Explanation:

The comma helps separate the two clauses, even though it's not needed.

An independent clause is a complete sentence so it can be by itself. However, a dependent clause is an incomplete sentence. Based on that knowledge, you can tell that:

'And my sister came to meet us' is a dependent clause, while 'We were waiting outside because it was a nice day' is an independent clause.
