Answer 1

B) Until we are able to confirm whether or not the radio waves came from outside of this solar system.

This is the sentence fragment. It is a dependent clause because of the word "until". If "until" did not begin the fragment, the entire clause would be independent and a complete sentence. However, until is a subordinating conjunction that creates a dependent clause which is a sentence fragment. The other sentences are all complete.
