Answer:

The sentence that corrects the comma splice is D. She loves novels, and she would like to read more of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

And -as well as nor, but, yet, or, for and so- is a coordinating conjunction that allows to join words or clauses that have equal grammatical rank. Whenever a coordinating conjunction is joining two independent clauses (like in this case,) a comma should be placed before. Therefore, the correct option is D.
