Answer:

C. Complex sentence

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, a complex sentence is a sentence that has one independent and one dependent clause. An independent clause is one that can stand alone in a sentence. In this example, the independent clause is "I was not surprised" while the dependent one is "when I learned that." The combination of the two creates a complex sentence.
