The correct response is A complex. The sentence contains an independent clause ("Sheila stopped to help the puppy") and a dependent clause ("who had fallen into the deep hole") which makes it a complex sentence. The part "Although it was raining" is also a dependent clause. Therefore, there are both dependent and independent clauses present.
