Answer:

I think it would be the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be the 4th one becasue it brakes down the sentence and it is easy to read and understand.I kow that it si not the thrid one becasuse it does not specify whether or not it is the racoon it just sayes " it ". I also think it is not the first one becasuse that is a run on sentence and the second one is harder to read and does not have the same sentence flow.
