Answer:

It contains a comma splice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both comma splice and fused sentence are writing errors that occur when we try to join two independent clauses ( it has a subject and a verb and presents a complete thought)

Fused sentence occurs when we join two independent clauses without any punctuation ( I love books my favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye ).

Comma splice occurs when we join two independent clauses with a comma, like in the given sentence. To fix this error, we can: put a semicolon (No one likes a bully; He has no friends. ) or a period between these two sentences (No one likes a bully. He has no friends. ) or add a conjunction (No one likes a bully so he has no friends.)
