The sentence that combines the two sentences using a present participial phrase is B) Stretching eight feet, the sunflower reaches all the way up to my window.
This is the only sentence where you can find the present participial phrase - <em>stretching eight feet. </em>
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.
The answer is independent clause
