The structure of above sentence is complex.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

When a sentence consists one independent clause and one or more subordinate clause is said to be a complex sentence. In the above sentence, ''Sheila stopped to help the puppy'' is the independent clause which can form a simple sentence by itself. ''Although it was raining and who had fallen into the deep hole'' are the dependent clauses that does not form a simple sentence by itself.

These two clauses connected by relative pronouns or adverbs are the examples of complex sentences. We can combine them together to get a complex sentence.
