Well,

If you want to connect two independent clauses, you must use the proper conjunction and punctuation.

Option A is a comma splice.

Option B contains no conjunction/punctuation.

Option C is also a comma splice.

Option D uses a comma followed by a conjunction. This is proper.

The correct option is D.
