D.

Sagot :

Well,

Let's test the options, starting with option D.

"Because they had traveled often."  This still is a dependent clause, and does not make sense.

Option C:
"Since Richard and Denise had traveled often." This is also a dependent clause.

Option B:
"Since, they had traveled often."  This makes even less sense.

Option A:
"They had traveled often."  Here we finally have an independent clause that can stand as a sentence by itself.  This is the correct option.
