Correct answer: When the clown sneezed, my little brother burst out laughing.

Step-by-step explanation: A comma must be placed after a dependent clause that starts a sentence. "When the clown sneezed" is a dependent clause because it has a subject and verb but it cannot stand on its own. If the dependent clause ends the sentence, it does not need a comma.
