Explanation
Comma splice also known as comma fault is a writting error that consists in the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. This is also used to convey a particular mood of informality. According to the above, the sentence that eliminates that error is "The field of developmental psychology deals with changes in mental and behavioral performance over time. Although the field began with a focus on child psychology, it has grown to track changes throughout a lifetime"nbecause it includes a period to separate both ideas, moreover, this sentence adds an appropriate linking word "although" to connect the ideas correctly.

The answer is C...........
The answer is B.
This is because it shows someone saying something, but it is what the writer has told us as an audience not a normal quotation that we see in a book.
For example, a direct quotation would be:
"Mom! I don't want to do my homework now!" Darren complained.
This is because we can see the exact words of what Darren said.
Whereas an indirect quotation would be:
Darren told his mom he didn't want to do homework now.
- Because we have to trust the writer what Darren said but cannot see the exact words.
