The answer is c. This is because a complex sentence is made up of one dependent clause and one independent clause. In this case, "As Jake was reading the letter from June yet again" is the dependent clause because it cannot stand alone. "The flight attendant coughed gently to get his attention" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a sentence.
Hope that helped answer your question.
