Respuesta :
The correct answer is A. Since she was hungry, she had a snack.
It is the only complete sentence because there is a main clause ("she had a snack"), and a subordinate (dependent) clause that hangs to it ("since she was hungry"). All the other examples are subordinate clauses, and they can never function on their own, as they don't provide the complete piece of information.

Further Explanation:
The word sentence is applied to the group of words which makes sense. A complete sentence is a sentence which makes a complete sense out of it. The intention of the speaker is as clear as what he wants to convey to the reader or the listener. The basic requirements for a sentence to be a complete one are that it should contain a subject, verb, and an object. Usually, this is the basic principle on which a sentence is said to be a complete one. Also, the use of punctuation is considered in the process. A complete sentence does not require any external help to make any sense. It stands alone and makes complete sense out of it.
In the given four sentences, sentence (A) conveys complete sense out of it. All the other three sentences do not qualify of being a complete sentence. They are incomplete in terms of making sense. All the sentences start with a subordinating conjunction. It is only the sentence (A) which links two clauses. In the other three sentences, the second clause is missing. The main clause is only mentioned while the dependent clause is missing in the sentences. Hence, they are incomplete sentences.
