According to The Elements of Style, the correct way to punctuate this sentence is, Conservationists are considering urban runoff, and they are tracking population growth, but the magnitude of the situation has not been determined.
Answer: Option C.
Explanation:
Punctuations are the marks such as comma, semicolon, exclamation that we use while writing. Punctuation helps to give a clear meaning to the sentence. ‘The Elements of style’ is a book written by William Strunk which describes the proper way of writing style.
From the sentences given below, the correct way to punctuate this sentence is, ‘Conservationists are considering urban runoff, and they are tracking population growth, but the magnitude of the situation has not been determined.’ Here we can see that after the dangler is separated with a comma. Apart from this in the first line, two ideas are being discussed which is further separated by adding comma thus making a sentence readable.

Hi. Even though you showed a text, you didn't show any questions about that text. However, when researching this text on the internet, I was able to find a question, which asked that the errors presented in this text be pointed out.
In this case, we can conclude that all punctuation that the text presents is incorrect.
The correct thing would be that between the words "newspaper" and "Deeter" there was a comma, since this clause presents a continuity of thought. Also, between the words "breakfast" and "the," there should be a period, as the word "breakfast" ends one of the narrators' thoughts and the word "the," starts another thought. In addition, the word "the" must be written with the capital letter "T", since every word, after a period, must start with a capital letter.
Finally, after the word "floor" a period should be placed, as this word ends a thought.
