Solution

This is a complex sentence.

Here's why:

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

In the sentence "They asked him how he got injured, but he refused to answer," "They asked him how he got injured" and "he refused to answer" are both independent clauses because they can stand alone as complete sentences.

The conjunction "but" connects these two independent clauses, making the sentence complex.
