Answer:

The correct answer is: Subordination

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence uses subordination because the sentence 'Watterson has explained that Calvin was named after the​ sixteenth-century theologian John​ Calvin' is separated from a less important sentence, 'Hobbes was named for another influential​ thinker, the​ seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes' with the subordinator likewise.
