Answer:
two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction
Explanation:
Both clauses stand alone
The answer is B. because it is the best paraphrase.
The novels The Maze Runner and The 5th Wave both have the theme of survival. They both surround(focus on) a select group of kids that have leaders with big decisions to make. The Maze runner has to escape a "prison/test" to survive. In the 5th Wave the characters are trying to survive what they think is an alien invasion. Its set in a more apocalyptic setting.
