Answer:
C. I don't like snakes.
Explanation:
An independent clause is a phrase that can stand on its own as a sentence. "I don't like snakes" has a subject, verb, and noun; therefore it is a complete sentence. None of the other answer choices are complete sentences; they are dependent clauses.

When it comes to parenthetical citations, I am going to assume that you are using MLA guidelines. If so, it is only necessary to cite the author's last name, followed by the page number, with no parentheses between them. The last choice is the only one that just gives the last name, so it is correct.
Transitions help your argument flow smoothly and without them you could lose and confuse your audience. Hope that helps
