The correct statement is:

The comma should follow the dependent clause if the clause begins with a subordinating conjunction.

This means that if the dependent clause (which starts with a subordinating conjunction) comes before the independent clause in a sentence, you should use a comma to separate them. For example: "If it rains, we will cancel the picnic."
