The correct answer is: After the storm subsided, I surveyed the house for damage.A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. In this case, the sentence "After the storm subsided, I surveyed the house for damage" has one independent clause ("I surveyed the house for damage") and one dependent clause ("After the storm subsided").
