Answer

The answer is a. I tripped on the stairs while you weren't looking.

Explanation
Option a: I tripped on the stairs while you weren't looking.

This option is a complete sentence. It contains a subject ("I"), a verb ("tripped"), and a complete thought. The phrase "while you weren't looking" acts as a dependent clause providing additional information about when the action occurred.

Option b: While you weren't looking or listening.

This is a sentence fragment. It lacks a main clause with a subject and a verb to form a complete sentence. It only provides a dependent clause without a complete thought.

Option c: While you weren't looking, a touchdown.

This is also a sentence fragment. It lacks a verb in the main clause. The phrase "a touchdown" does not form a complete sentence as it lacks a verb to indicate an action.

Option d: Made faces at you while you weren't looking.

This is a sentence fragment. It lacks a subject in the main clause. The phrase "Made faces at you" does not specify who performed the action, making it incomplete.
