The central idea would be that even though Edison made lots of horrible inventions and mistakes, without him not giving up and continuing we wouldn’t have things we use everyday. So basically keep going and don’t give up.

Note:  The questions asks about CONJUNCTIONS —NOT about "contractions".

Choice "A" is incorrect.  They are not used to combine two or more LONG sentences.  If sentences are already long, then do not need to be combined with a conjunction.

Choice: "B" is incorrect.  To the contrary, the use of conjunctions actually makes sentences longer.
________________________________________
Choice "C" is incorrect.  To the contrary, the use of conjunctions should be used (appropriately, of course) in essays.  The use of "contractions" should not be used in essays or formal writing.

Dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. Although this contains a subject and a predicate, the thought is not complete and can not stand on its own. For example, "since he did not pay the rent". In this instance, the clause has a subject and a verb but shows no thought or meaning.
An independent clause is a group of words comprised of a subject and a predicate and expresses a thought thus, called independent. For instance, "I arrived early", "She sings."
