Explanation

A compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. In choice A, “While they were walking on campus” is dependent, while “Dwayne admired the buildings” and “Michelle imagined attending classes in this beautiful place” are independent clauses joined by “and.” The other choices do not have both two independent clauses and a dependent clause.
