A dependent clause is generally seen as less "complete" or unable to stand alone compared to an independent clause, much like a child is usually seen as less independent than an adult. Therefore, more fitting comparison would be:
Independent clauses : adults
Dependent clauses : children
So, the answer that best fits this analogy is:
A adults; children
