Answer:

The second one

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

The first and third ones both have periods somewhere to prevent a run-on sentence. The second one does not and when you read it, it kinda feels like you're reading too much at once. You need a period somewhere in there to "get a break". The second one is NOT a good way to fix the run-on setence.

I hope this helps :)
