Answer:

Option A

And

Step-by-step explanation:

A transitional word is a word in a sentence, that is used to join clauses or phrases that make up a sentence together. They are commonly known as conjunctions.

In this sentence, the prominent conjunction is the word "and". This is because it joins a simple sentence and a clause, to make the compound sentence in the question.

This co -joining of these two parts of the sentence, makes "and" the transition word in the sentence.

Simple sentence: Chekhov wrote hundreds of short stories

transition word: and

Clause: several hilarious one act comedies.

Compound sentence: Chekhov wrote hundreds of short stories and several hilarious one act comedies.
