Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause.
Independent Clause: "This is the house"
Dependent (Relative) Clause: "in which I was born"
The dependent clause "in which I was born" acts as an adjective clause, modifying the noun "house," which makes the overall sentence complex.
