Answer:

The sentence above is a simple sentence (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence above is a simple sentence because it only contains one clause, with a single subject and predicate. The subject of the sentence is the NP "Lisa" and the verbal predicate is the VP "held the little bird carefully". The head of this VP is the transitive verb to hold.
