Let me break it down for you, starting with:
A. That was when I realized my decision was final; but there was no turning back. Now, at first glance, this seems like a pretty good answer, right? Wrong, you don't need that "but" there, doesn't it seem a bit out of place? Now, I'm not saying this isn't something you can do, but it's not the best answer choice.
B. That was when I realized my decision was final; however, there was no turning back. "However" is a word that you usually don't see people use a lot. Now, to me, as someone who likes lengthy writing, I would choose this answer choice, but since it asks for the best answer choice, this one isn't the correct one.
C. That was when I realized my decision was final; also there was no turning back. Anyone with a brain can tell that this is obviously a wrong answer; you wouldn't just say, "Also, there was no turning back." in the middle of a sentence, it doesn't fit there.
D. That was when I realized my decision was final, and there was no turning back. Read this aloud, you can tell that it sounds and slides off the tongue nicer than the other three sentences.
D is the correct answer.
You could come up with any independent clause and add it to this sentence.
For example, “The kids sprinted out the door”.
You can either add this to the front or end of the sentence.
“The kids sprinted out of the door as soon as the bell was rung”
“As soon as the bell was rung, the kids sprinted out of the door.”
Make sure to use a comma to separate the clauses if you’re going to put the main clause at the end of the sentence.
Hope this helped

Explanation:

The title of the magazine
The names of any other contributors to the magazine article (if applicable)

6-3x=5x-10x+2
Add 5x and -10x and you get -5x
6 - 3x = -5x + 2 ( add -5 to the other side)
6+2x=2
now subtract 6 from both sides
2x = -4
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
x=-2
