This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Because I like to grow flowers, I have planted a small garden near

the fence which separates my yard from the neighbor's.  

Which group of words from the sentence is an independent clause?

A. Because I like to grow flowers

B. I have planted a small garden  

C. near the fence

D. which separates my yard from the neighbor's

Answer:

The group of words that forms an independent clause in the sentence is:

B. I have planted a small garden .

Explanation:

When we look for an independent clause, there are certain characteristics we must pay attention to. First, this clause will have a subject and a predicate. Second, this clause will be able to express a complete thought on its own, that is, it will not need another clause to help it make sense.

When we read each of the options above individually, we realize the only that has those characteristics is letter B. Take a look at letter D, for instance. If you read it on its own, it makes no sense. "Which" refers to what? We do not know. The same will happen with options A and C. However, when you read option B "I have planted a small garden," you realize this clause makes perfect sense on it own. The meaning is complete.
