Answer:

he fell from the tree

Step-by-step explanation:

This clause is the only one with a subject and a predicate. The pronoun is there ("he") followed by a verb ("to fall"). It is a complete sentence that can easily end right there, making complete sense on its own. The others, though, miss a pronoun or a verb, so they aren't complete and therefore cannot be considered independent clauses.
