  B. I meant to complement Mom on her delicious dinner.
  C. Example sentences are meant to complement your understanding

Answer: 
  Our compliments if you chose C! Answers A, B, and D use
"complement" when they should use "compliment." (Answer D is
an example of the use of "compliment" to mean the same as
"regards" or "best wishes.") Though they look and sound
similar, "compliment" and "complement" have different
histories. "Compliment" comes from a Spanish verb that means
"to be courteous," and "complement" (which also has a
corresponding noun) comes from a Latin verb that means "to
fill up." To keep them straight remember that "complement"
means "to complete," and that both "complement" and
"complete" feature two E's and no I's.
