This option correctly separates the two independent clauses with a period, making it grammatically correct. Each clause stands alone as a complete sentence.

This option uses a comma to separate the two independent clauses, which results in a comma splice. A comma alone is not sufficient to join two independent clauses.

This option incorrectly uses commas around the conjunction "and," which is unnecessary and incorrect in this context. The correct form would be to use "and" without additional commas.

This option incorrectly uses a semicolon followed by "but." A semicolon should not be used before a conjunction like "but." Instead, a comma should be used before "but" if joining two independent clauses.
