A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause. In option A, there is only one independent clause, "She went to the store", which is not accompanied by any dependent clause. Option B also only contains one independent clause, "The sun rises in the east", with no dependent clause. Option D is the same as option B. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as it contains both an independent clause, "She went to the store", and a dependent clause, "she bought a shirt".
