A giving downtown a wide berth, I drove down many side streets.
Basically, an independent clause is a complete sentence. A dependent clause is NOT a sentence, it's a fragment..
So the only answer is A. Giving downtown a wide berth, I drove down many side street :)
I used to have a lot of trouble with independent and dependent clauses XD
Now I understand them a lot better.
