(B) is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

"Although it was cold" is the subordinate clause. "we walked the entire distance in our shirt sleeves" is the dependent clause. If you look at the other sentences they have different clauses. In this case I used process of elimination. If you have additional questions I will try to answer them.
