Answer:
D) Because I care about the fate of the planet, I choose to recycle.
the first sentence is an adverbial clause while the second is an independent one.
Explanation:
an Adverbial clause is when a clause is dependent, that is <u>when it does not make complete sense on its own despite having a subject and a verb</u>. the presence of an adverb in the clause makes it not just dependent but an adverbial clause.
t<u>he first sentence has a subject(planet's fate) and a verb(care), the presence of Because makes it adverbial</u> and dependent on the next part of the sentence to make sense.
the rest of the sentence 'I choose to recycle' is complete on its own as it is a simple statement.
