Explanation:

The sentence is a complex sentence because the word "Although" is a subordinating conjunction. In complex sentences, we have a dependent clause and an independent clause. The dependent clause begins with a subordinating conjunction.

In this sentence:- 'Although he worked hard' is the dependent clause and 'Although' is the subordinating conjunction, and 'he failed' is the independent clause.
