Answer 1

Answer:

D. compound-complex sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence comprises two simple sentences/independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction or comma or semicolon.      

A complex sentence comprises a simple sentence/independent clause and a dependent or subordinate clause.  

Therefore,  a compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. A compound- complex sentence is a compound sentence with at least a dependent, or subordinate clause.

Breaking down the given sentence;

Key:

He enjoys hiking in the forest - Independent clause

Kenny likes the view that he gets from the top of the mountain - Independent clause

On the other hand - dependent clause

and - coordinating conjunction

Therefore, the sentence "Kenny, on the other hand, likes the view that he gets from the top of the mountain, and he enjoys hiking in the forest." is a compound-complex sentence.
