The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding coordinating clauses.
A coordinating clause links two clauses of equal importance using coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," or "or."
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
Option (A):
Incorrect. This option only presents the first part of the sentence, not a full coordinating clause.
Option (B):
Incorrect. This option only presents the second part of the sentence, not the full coordinating clause.
Option (C):
Incorrect. This option presents both clauses but lacks the proper coordinating conjunction to link them effectively.
Option (D):
Correct. The conjunction "and" properly links the two clauses, forming a coordinating clause.
