A subordinate sentence is a sentence which cannot exist on its own, it has to be a part of a larger, main, independent sentence. In this case, the correct answer is B, 'when the forest burned', because it feels incomplete, whereas the other two sentences 'some flowers fell' and ' (some flowers) became preserved under layers of ash' are independent clauses.
