Explanation:

First, identify the core components of the sentence:

1. The simple subject is the main noun performing the action: "dad".
2. The simple predicate is the main verb: "gave".
3. In the verb phrase "gave us our lunches", "us" is the indirect object (the recipient of the action) and "lunches" is the direct object (the thing being given).

Now match this to the options: the last option correctly identifies all these components.

Answer:

The sentence is built around the simple subject "dad" and simple predicate "gave." It also contains both a direct object "lunches" and indirect object "us."
