A compound-complex sentence consists of at least two independent sentences, and at least one subordinate sentence. Having this in mind, the correct answer is the first option - While they were walking on campus, Dwayne admired the buildings, and Michelle imagined attending classes in this beautiful place.

There is one subordinate sentence here (while they were walking on campus) and two independent ones (the rest of the sentence). The other options have only one independent clause, or they don't have a subordinate clause at all.
