Sagot :

Option C contains a run-on sentence (I would call it a comma splice).

A better way to phrase the sentence could be:

1. A giant clam grows huge; it can weigh hundreds of pounds.

2. A giant clam grows huge.  It can weigh hundreds of pounds.
 The answer is C. A giant clam grows huge, it can weigh hundreds of pounds.
