The coordinating conjunction in the sentence is NOR.
There are only seven coordinating conjunctions. Remember the terms FAN BOYS in relation to coordinating conjunctions.
F - for
A - and
N - nor
B - but
O - or
Y - yet
S - so
Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. Giving equal emphasis on two main clauses.
Here are the patterns for using coordinating conjunctions:
1) connecting two main clauses
main clause + coordinating conjunction + main clause
2) connecting two items
item + coordinating conjunction + item
3) connecting three or more items in a series
item + item + coordinating conjunction + item
The answer is main clause

Explanation:
Sentence fragments are fragments of sentences that are together but not complete as a sentence. They are more like dependent clauses, with no meaning, and also doesn't make a full meaningful sentence. Sometimes, different punctuation may be required to make them into complete sentences.
Among the given sentences, option B is a complete sentence with correct punctuation and sentence structure.
The other options are sentence fragments as they either are incomplete sentences or they need a change in the punctuation used.
Like in sentence A, the period/ full stop between "lockers" and "And" should be removed. And change the "A" into "a".
In sentence C, the same case with the position of the period. Removing the period after "school", change it into a comma and changing the capital "T" from "The" to "t".
Sentence D also has the same error- the period after "belongings" and changing "F" into "f" of "From".
Thus, the <u>correct answer is sentence B.
