You don't want to put a comma between the complete sentences, because that just prolongs the sentences, rather than correcting it. You can do B no matter what. If the sentences are in relation to each other, then you can add a semicolon. For example, he liked the dog; it had soft and silky ears. If the first sentence is dependent on the other sentences, then add a conjunction. For example, He had to go to the store because he needed eggs.
