Answer:

B. a comma after the word "sick"

Explanation: There should be a comma after the word "sick" because "Since Marty was feeling sick" is an introductory phrase (a dependent clause). For it to be recognized in the sentence, it needs a comma. It should read this way: "Since Marty was feeling sick, he decided to stay home from school for two days just to make sure he was feeling better."
