The correct answer is C. complex.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the independent clause is <em>Galileo, the first astronomer to use a telescope, confirmed the theory </em>and the dependent clause is <em>that the earth and planets circle the sun.
</em>A is incorrect because a simple sentence contains only one independent clause; B is incorrect because a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses; D is incorrect because a compound-complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least two dependent ones.

There are five elements of a plot: Exposition, conflict, raising action, climax, falling action and Resolution. From these elements, the one that approaches best to that excerpt is Resolution. The word "finally" can be a signal word that denotes the ending part and Resolution means that the conflict has been solved and indicates the ending, which it really makes sense, since after all the things happened in Jake's life, at the end "I expect we'll need three servings of bacon today" refering maybe to a happy ending.
