Dependent clauses cannot stand on their own, they have to be parts of a bigger, complete, independent clause. Having that in mind, the correct answer is I want to become an electrician after I graduate high school. 
Here, the dependent clause is after I graduate high school, which doesn't sound complete, as you can see. The other options are simple sentences or contain two independent clauses, but there are no dependent ones.
