Answer: B) A relationship between two independent clauses

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent clause has a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. To test if a clause is independent, see if it makes sense on its own. "Ali and Maggie play soccer" is a full sentence, so it is an independent clause. "I play tennis" is also a full sentence and an independent clause.
