The correct answer is complete subject.
Assuming that the words in bold are Melinda and Belinda, her twin sister, then the answer is complete subject. A complete subject includes not only the actual subject of a sentence, but also all words directly connected to it (such as her twin sister). If only Melinda and Belinda were bolded, then it would be a compound subject (consists of more than one subject).
