Answer:

b. A conjunction

Step-by-step explanation:

Commas are used to separate items in a list or series of things. However, when these items are joined by a conjunction like or, and, or as well os, the comma is not necessary because conjunction already provides a smoother transition from one word or idea to another.

Take a look at the following examples:

The sweater is green, and blue. (Incorrect, the comma is unnecessary)

The sweater is green and blue. (Correct)
