The correct answer is: "a part of a sentence that can stand alone."
An independent clause is a group of words that can function as a complete sentence on its own. It contains a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought. In other words, it doesn't rely on any other part of the sentence to make sense. If you remove all the other words in a sentence and the remaining part can still make a complete thought, then it is an independent clause.
