Forbidden Fruit is a short story written by Russian writer Fazil Iskander. It is about a family who cannot eat pork because of Mohammed's Commandments and how the little girl starts wondering what it would be like. Letter D is correct since we can see the speaker debating with his own ideas, even they come from the mentioned Commandments, it is him who decides to embrace them, making it a struggle against himself.

A simple sentence is an independent statement including a subject and its predicate; it is the shortest possible sentence in English since they can only be "I eat" or "He plays." The subject is the name and the predicate the meaning of it.

A complex sentence is a one that combines one independent clause with another one, at least. In the example, we can see the first statement in "I was not surprised) and the second one, connected with when, "I learned that."
