None of the sentences provided appear to contain a dependent clause. A dependent clause typically begins with a subordinating conjunction (like "when," "because," "although," etc.) and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
However, if we focus specifically, "When looking out the window, they saw the first leaf fall." can be interpreted as starting with a phrase that resembles a dependent clause format. Although the phrase "when looking out the window" functions more as a participial phrase, the closest option to what you might be looking for in terms of complexity in sentence structure is this one.
If you meant to include true dependent clauses explicitly, please check your options, as none of them strictly meet that criterion.
