Explanation:

A simple sentence has one independent clause (a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought). The sentence "Benjamin Franklin—scientist, inventor, and one of America's founding fathers—raised public awareness about firefighting methods and organized the first fire department in Philadelphia" has one subject ("Benjamin Franklin") and one predicate (the actions "raised... and organized..."), with the appositive phrase ("—scientist...fathers—") adding details but not creating multiple clauses. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses, a complex has one independent and one or more dependent, and compound - complex has multiple independent and dependent. So this is a simple sentence.
