None of the sentences start with a capital letter, so technically none of them are correctly punctuated :p


Your answer is this one:


"The kids in my class want to become more self-sufficient."

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that has correct a punctuation is the following one: The kids in my class want to become more self-sufficient.

The option with the hyphen is the correct option because when the word "self" is used in compound nouns or adjectives, a hyphen is always required between "self" and the second half of the word.
