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.
