Hello!

A compound sentence<span> is made up of two or more simple sentences joined with a conjunction.</span>
Complex sentences must include at least one dependent clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun and an independent clause.
A compound-complex sentence has one complex sentence joined to a simple sentence with a conjunction.

Therefore, the sentence, <span>"because our favorite restaurant was closed, we decided to cook dinner at home." is a complex sentence. This is the correct answer because the dependent clause, "because our favorite restaurant was closed" was introduced by the </span>subordinating conjunction, "because". It also has an independent clause, "we decided to cook dinner at home."
