The answer is c, a compound-complex sentence. This is because the sentence contains dependent and independent clauses.

An independent clause is something that can stand by itself. "165 people were accused of being witches" is an independent clause.

Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as sentences. "and 150 were put in prison" is dependent.
