The sentence "If you could come in on Sunday, that would be great" contains one independent clause and one subordinate clause. Option D is correct.

The first structure of the sentence, which has a subject and a verb, is categorized as a subordinate clause. To begin with, it begins with the word IF which is a subordinated conjuction that implies a condition, so that it requires a second part to convey the total though of the meaning.
