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 when it does not make complete sense on its own despite having a subject and a verb. the presence of an adverb in the clause makes it not just dependent but an adverbial clause.
the first sentence has a subject(planet's fate) and a verb(care), the presence of Because makes it adverbial 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.
