The correct answer is complex sentence.
A complex sentence is the one which consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand on its own (in this sentence, the independent clause is - he lost his house and car), and a dependent one cannot because it is incomplete (in this sentence, the dependent clauses are - because Karl spent more money AND than he earned).
