Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The sentence has one independent clause "The English novelist Virginia Woolf was a prolific writer, and the influence of her fiction and non - fiction on her contemporaries was both powerful and pervasive" and one non - restrictive clause "who pioneered the use of stream of consciousness in fiction". So it is a complex sentence.
  2. The clause "who pioneered the use of stream of consciousness in fiction" is non - restrictive as it can be removed without changing the essential meaning of the main clause. It is set off by commas.
  3. There are only two clauses (one independent and one non - restrictive), not three.

Answer:

A. It is a complex sentence. D. It contains a nonrestrictive clause.
