A Correct answer
Explanation

True is correct because this is a comma splice. 'This is a lovely dessert, you must give me the recipe one day' contains two independent clauses joined only by a comma. 'This is a lovely dessert' and 'you must give me the recipe one day' are both complete sentences. They need stronger punctuation: a period, semi-colon, or coordinating conjunction.
