Assuming the question asks which of the following is found in the sentence, neither A. a dependent clause or C. a subordinating conjunction exist in the sentence, so the only possible answer is B. an independent clause.
"The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" ⇒ This is an independent clause because it represents a complete thought.
"<span>a desolate landscape remained in its wake</span>" ⇒ This is also an independent clause.
", and" ⇒ This is a coordinating conjunction, connecting two independent clauses.

B. Either... or...
Explanation:
Conjunctions are words used to connect other words, phrases, or clauses. There are three main types of conjunctions:
- Coordinating conjunctions - used to connect two elements (words/phrases/clauses) of equal grammatical rank and importance (e.g. two independent clauses).
- Subordinating conjunctions - used to connected elements of unequal rank and importance (e.g. one independent and one subordinating clause).
- Correlative conjunctions - used in pairs to connect elements of equal importance (e.g. <em>both/and, </em><em>either/or</em><em>, neither/nor, not/but</em>).
Based on this information, we can conclude that the correlative conjunction in the given sentence is<em> either/or. </em>
