Answer 3

thank you @warood and @anonymous1321 I also thought dependent but wasn't 100 percent sure

Answer 4

Answer 5

I disagree. A dependent clause has a subject and verb, but it does not form a whole sentence. "After a heated discussion" does not contain a verb.

This is simply a prepositional phrase (C).

D is wrong
