B.

"Because Mantzel needed a way to fund his breeding program, he opened Fossil Rim to the public in 1982." is a complex sentence — it joins a dependent (subordinate) clause introduced by "Because" to an independent clause. Options A and C are compound; D uses a participial phrase rather than a full subordinate clause.
