The girl who won the pie eating contest is my sister.

a. The girl

C. is my sister

b. who won the pie eating contest

The correct answer is the option B.

Explanation:

A dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. The shaded clauses could not stand alone as sentences. This is how a dependent clause differs from an independent clause.

In this question,"Who won the pie eating contest" is the dependent clause.

B. Who won the pie eating contest
