a. a dependent clause
b. a dependent phrase
c. an independent clause
d. an independent phrase

The correct answer or the exercise is:

C. An independent clause

Explanation:

The reason this is the correct answer is that a) A dependant clause does not express a complete thought, so it is incomplete.

b) a dependent phrase is a type of construction that contains a subject and an object but not a complete thought.

d) an independent phrase can stand alone, however, it doesn't complete a thought.

Therefore c) is the correct option. Because it contains a subject, and object, connecting two different ideas that can complement each other.
