D Correct answer
Explanation

The introductory dependent clause starting with 'Whereas' must be separated from the main clause by a comma, which correctly appears after 'question'. No comma should separate the subordinating conjunction 'Whereas' from its subject 'Sam', nor should one split the phrase 'ten seconds', making 'no change' correct.
