Answer:
C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction)
Explanation:
Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision.
Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own.
On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction.
In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the
trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and".
So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause".
However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".
