A dependent clause that comes at the beginning of a sentence should be followed by a
A
period
B
colon
C
parenthesis
D
comma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the dependent clause is first (again, rather like an introduction to the main clause), it is followed by a comma (like in this sentence and the next). If the independent clause comes first, no punctuation separates the two.

Detailed explanation-2: -I have a cat, it has a nasty temper. A dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand as a sentence in its own right, such as before I left the parking lot. When a complex sentence contains a dependent clause like this one, a comma is not used unless the dependent clause comes before the independent clause.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dependent clause that starts with a subordinating conjunction (e.g., “when, ” “unless, ” “because, ” “until") will be functioning as an adverb. When the clause is positioned at start of the sentence, offset it with a comma. If it ends the sentence, do not use a comma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: A comma should follow a dependent clause when the dependent clause comes first in a sentence. A dependent clause is the clause which cannot stand alone in its meaning on the other hand independent clause refers to the phrase which can stand alone, though both have a subject and a verb.
