Which of the following is a compound complex sentence?
- A.

- B.
  
  The dog and the cat ran across the yard.
- C.

- D.
  
  The cat slept in the chair, and the dog watched it hungrily.
Correct Answer
A. The dog, which is brown, ran across the yard, while the cat slept in the chair.

Explanation
The given sentence is a compound complex sentence because it contains two independent clauses and one dependent clause. The independent clauses are "The dog, which is brown, ran across the yard" and "the cat slept in the chair", while the dependent clause is "which is brown". The use of the coordinating conjunction "while" connects the two independent clauses, making it a compound sentence. Additionally, the dependent clause adds more information to the sentence, making it a complex sentence as well.
