c, because it combines the two sentences but doesn't make it choppy.

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that uses a dependent clause to correctly combine these two sentences is the following one: When James made the basket, the crowd in the stadium went wild with excitement. That is, the correct option would be C.

The introduction of the conjunction "when" makes it clear that the two events described in the sentence happened at the same time: James made the basket and the crow (...) went wild with excitement.
