Answer:

○ Madison always rejected the nickname "Father of the Constitution", saying the Constitution had many "fathers".

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex sentence includes both a dependent and independent clause, which a dependent clause cannot stand alone, even if a verb and a noun exist, but an independent clause can, in a sentence:

Madison always rejected the nickname "Father of the Constitution", saying the Constitution had many "fathers".

Dependent Clause: Bold

Independent Clause: Underline

** Although the third option LOOKS LIKE a possibility, you have to be EXTREMELY careful because the word "which" is a conjunction, making the sentence a compound sentence, not a complex sentence.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
