Answer:

There should never be a comma after "and" or "but" - unless there is an insertion.

(so we can exclude answers a) and c) )

There can be a comma before "and" as in b) but only when the two phrases are independent from each other, so not in this case- here the comma separates the two verbs which belong to the same subject

So the correct answer is d)!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

k bc i am in the future
