Conditional statement, hypothesis, and conclusion
Another name for an if-then statement is a conditional statement. Every conditional has two parts. The part following if is the hypothesis and the part following then is the conclusion.
A conditional statement is a statement that is usually in the “if-then” form. It is used to express unreal or possible situations. Conditional statements are made up of two parts; the part that follows if (hypothesis or conditional part), and the part that follows then (the main part or conclusion). When writing a conditional statement, the order of arrangement of the two parts is not important but a comma should be used to separate them.

A simple sentence contains one independent clause - which is the case with sentence 7. There is one subject (they) and one verb (rule), which means that it is a simple sentence (because of one verb only). A dependent clause wouldn't be able to stand on its own, and sentence 7 obviously can, which is why it is not dependent.
