Explanation
A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In B, “Before you eat the sandwich” is dependent, and “please cut it in half” is independent. D and E each have a dependent clause beginning with “When” or “If,” followed by an independent clause. A and C are compound sentences because each joins two independent clauses.
