To identify this answer, you need to understand what a dependent clause and subordinating conjunction are. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a sentence. A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects the dependent clause to the main clause, indicating a relationship between the two.
In the given options, the only example that includes a dependent clause with a subordinating conjunction is "Basketball was invented there in 1891, while volleyball was invented in 1895." The subordinating conjunction "while" connects the dependent clause "while volleyball was invented in 1895" to the main clause "Basketball was invented there in 1891." This shows the relationship of simultaneous events between the inventions of basketball and volleyball.
