Certainly! Here's the answer to the question:

The sentence that is an example of a complex sentence is:
OD. Unless she arrives in the next five minutes, we must cancel the play.

Explanation:
1. A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
2. In sentence OD, "Unless she arrives in the next five minutes" is the dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
3. The independent clause in this sentence is "we must cancel the play," which can stand alone as a complete sentence.
4. Therefore, sentence OD is an example of a complex sentence as it contains both an independent and a dependent clause.
