-
B.

Correct Answer:
C. Coordinate Clause
Explanation:
The correct answer is Coordinate Clause. A coordinate clause is an independent clause that is joined to another independent clause of equal rank, often using a comma or a coordinating conjunction. In the sentence "To err is human, to forgive divine," there are two balanced statements joined together: "To err is human" and "(to forgive is) divine." Since both parts can stand alone as complete thoughts and have the same grammatical importance, they are coordinate clauses.
