D. When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.
An antecedent, by definition, is a word or a phrase that is referred to by an element that follows it in the same sentence or paragraph, typically. When we look at item “D,” we are left with the question: “What will be exciting?” Because “it” could be anything, it is safe to say that the antecedent is missing.

I believe that (C) The Earth was spinning when Lucas first saw Lucille.
A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. I think the independent clause here is "The Earth was spinning" and the dependent clause is "when Lucas first saw Lucille". The dependent clause cannot stand on its own.

Explanation:
The present participle of a verb is formed by adding -ing to it. It can function as an adjective or as a part of verb tenses (the "continuous" tenses). Study the examples below:
- The falling leaves only make the atmosphere more melancholic.
X
- The leaves are falling in beautiful spirals.
In the first sentence, "falling" works as an adjective, attributing a characteristic to the leaves. In the second sentence, it functions as a verb, part of the Present Continuous Tense, to indicate an action in progress.
The past participle is a verb form used to talk about completed actions. It is used to form perfect tenses in the active voice and all tenses in the passive voice. Study the examples below:
- She has chosen the one she likes best. (Active Voice)
- The one she likes best was chosen by her. (Passive Voice)
