Hello!

Answer:

D. Instead of resting her sprained ankle, Justine tried to play basketball and made the injury worse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The comma effectively separates the dependent clause (a group of words that does not express a complete thought: Instead of resting her sprained ankle, from the independent clauses (complete thought): Justine tried to play basketball and made the injury worse.

The comma separates the incomplete thought from the complete one, forming a sentence.
