    D) Milo is always trying to get attention, so he rubs his body against my feet, and he meows when I am in another room.

    Option D is the best way to revise the sentences to include a transition. The transition used in this sentence is "so". It correctly connects the idea of Milo trying to get attention to what he does in order to get attention. Option A is a run on sentence. A comma by itself is not enough to connect the first independent clause with the next two independent clauses. There needs to be more than a comma between "attention" and "he". In option D there is a comma and "so". Option B is also not grammatically correct for the same reason as option A. Also, when using a conjunction like "and" to connect two independent clause, we do not use a semicolon before the conjunction. Option C is also not correct. The transition "Although" does not show the correct relationship between Milo trying to get attention and how he does it.
