The correct answer is option C: It contains one independent clause and one dependent clause.

  • The independent clause is: "The hikers decided to make camp before reaching the summit".
  • The dependent clause is: "Because night was approaching rapidly". It is introduced by the subordinating conjunction because.
  • "After a strenous climb" is a phrase.
