The correct answer is complex.

This sentence consists of one independent sentence (I watered the plants) and one dependent clause (While you were on vacation). Simple sentence would contain only one independent clause. Compound consists of at least two independent clauses. And compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and as many dependent ones.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
