Explanation

Password complexity is measured by the number of character classes used: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Option B (Mytr@in!!) contains only three character classes - uppercase, lowercase, and special characters - but lacks any digits/numbers. Options A, C, and D all include all four character classes (uppercase, lowercase, special characters, and numbers), making them more complex. Fewer character classes means lower complexity, so B is the least complex.
