D because instead of putting if, it out of.

Violet Noble · Answer 2

C.) We all had tears in our eyes, as he spoke.

Explanation:

A comma joins two independent clauses. The clause 'We all had tears in our eyes' is indeed independent, while the fragment 'as he spoke' is not - - meaning it cannot be it's own sentence/phrase.

This sentence in particular does not need a comma to join the independent and dependent clauses, nor does require a pause in between words.
