The correct answer is b because the watch is self winding, however, the watch will not self-wind unless batteries are put in. Hope I helped! Good luck!

b. His new watch is self-winding, but it still needs a battery.
It contains a conjunction between the two clauses and has a comma too.
Hope this helps.
