Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The sentence contains two independent clauses ("Although the car that Deion bought is six years old, it's in excellent condition" and "the odometer reading is 150,000") joined by a conjunction ("however"), and a dependent clause ("Although the car that Deion bought is six years old") that begins with a subordinating conjunction. Therefore, it is a compound-complex sentence.
