C Correct answer
Explanation

(3) is incorrect as the conjunction ‘but’ is used in a sentence to introduce something that is true in spite of either being or seeming contrary to what has just been said. In this context, this is incorrect as the conjunction ‘and’ should have been used. The conjunction ‘and’ is used to indicate an additional thing, situation or fact. It links words and phrases.
