Answer 1

B. complex; Although most flash mobs gather to make a statement, some gather to protest something.

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex sentence consists of an independent clause, which can stand on its own, and at least one subordinate clause, which does not express a complete thought. Besides, a dependent clause usually begins with a subordinate conjunction, such as after before and because, and is separated from the independent clause by a comma.

In the sentence given, the dependent clause is: Although most flash mobs gather to make a statement. Meanwhile, the independent clause is: some gather to protest something.
