An independent clause can stand alone.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

An independent clause, a phrase which gives extra information to a sentence. However it can stand independently as a sentence. It usually comes with a subject and a predicate.

When it is added to a sentence it turns the sentence either into a complex or into a compound sentence. They can be fused into sentences by either using conjunctions or punctuation.

Sometimes independent clause also comes with a finite verb too. Usually a dependent clause, as the name suggests, cannot stand alone, thus making “Stands alone” as the right answer”.
