Answer: C) Complex.

Step-by-step explanation: we can say that a sentence is complex when it contains an independent clause (a phrase that have complete meaning on its own) and a dependent clause (a phrase that doesn't have complete meaning on its own). The given sentence is an example of a complex sentence because it has an independent clause "please take your plate to the kitchen" and a dependent clause "After you finish eating."
