Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. "Before you eat the sandwich, please cut it in half" has the dependent clause "Before you eat the sandwich" and the independent clause "please cut it in half". "When we are ready to leave, we will send you a text message" has the dependent clause "When we are ready to leave" and the independent clause "we will send you a text message". "If she starts to get warm, Janna will turn on the air - conditioner" has the dependent clause "If she starts to get warm" and the independent clause "Janna will turn on the air - conditioner". The first and third sentences are compound sentences with coordinating conjunctions "but" and "or" respectively.

Answer:

B. Before you eat the sandwich, please cut it in half.
