Answer:

A. Simple

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of sentence that contains only one independent clause is the simple sentence. Every sentence and independent clause must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Only that way they can stand on their own and still make sense.

Compound sentences are sentences that consist of at least two independent clauses.

Complex sentences are sentences that consist of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.

Compound complex sentences are sentences that consist of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
