Answer

Brief Explanations:

A coordinating conjunction (like "but") connects two independent clauses, and when used this way, it requires a comma before it. Option A correctly uses the coordinating conjunction "but" with a preceding comma to fix the fused sentence. Option B uses a period instead of combining the clauses with a coordinating conjunction in the correct structure, and Option C uses a semicolon without a conjunction, which does not meet the requirement of using a coordinating conjunction.

Answer:

A. My teacher said my assignment was better, but I still got a B.
