B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence 'The birds are flying in the sky' has one subject ('birds') and one verb phrase ('are flying'), making it a single independent clause. A simple sentence contains only one independent clause. Option A is incorrect because a compound sentence requires at least two independent clauses. Option C is incorrect because an exclamatory sentence is classified by its function (expressing strong emotion), not its structure. Option D is incorrect because option B correctly identifies the sentence type.
