Conjunctions are usually used to combine two or more choppy sentences or phrases. Thus, option D is correct.

What are conjunctions?

Conjunctions are words like and, if, although, and, for, yet, so etc. which are often used to combine the sentence, clause, or phrase. There are three types of conjunctions that are used to combine the sentences:

  1. coordinating
  2. paired
  3. subordinating

If we have two sentences or phrases, and they didn't align with each other, then conjunctions are used to make those choppy sentences into meaningful sentences.

These small words can make a choppy sentence into a complete one. All conjunctions help in making a defined meaning to the sentence. Therefore, option D is the correct option.
