I believe it would be C. Because there should be a comma between 'hard' and 'there'.

Answer:

The answer is letter C. Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.

Explanation:

A fused sentence happens when we put together two independent clauses with no punctuation or conjunction to connect them. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought on its own.

We have precisely that in letter C. Two independent clauses were put together without proper punctuation or a conjunction to connect them:

1. Choosing a video game is hard.

2. There are so many (video games) for sale.

We could correct the sentence in letter C by using a semicolon to separate the clauses or by using the coordinating conjunction "for" to establish a relationship of explanation between them.

- Choosing a video game is hard; there are so many for sale.

- Choosing a video game is hard, for there are so many for sale. --> note that we must add a comma before the conjunction
