Explanation:

A simple sentence has one independent clause (subject + predicate) and no dependent clauses or conjunctions joining multiple clauses.

• "The Cowboys won their Thanksgiving day game": Has one subject ("The Cowboys") and one predicate ("won their Thanksgiving day game")—no dependent clauses or conjunctions for multiple clauses.
• "Whenever I go to Miami, I visit South Beach": "Whenever I go to Miami" is a dependent clause, so it’s a complex sentence.
• "Dogs are my favorite animal but I also really like cats": "but" joins two independent clauses, so it’s a compound sentence.
• "Since I've been in Houston, I have experienced tornados and hurricanes and ice storms": "Since I've been in Houston" is a dependent clause, so it’s a complex sentence.

Answer:

A. The Cowboys won their Thanksgiving day game
