The correct answer is C. simple sentence.
Simple sentences contain only one independent clause, only one finite verb, only one predicate, as is the case in the sentence above.
A run-on sentence is actually more than one sentence mixed into one but with no conjunctions or punctuation marks used (these sentences are grammatically incorrect).
A compound sentence contains more than one independent clause.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
