Which of the following sentences contains a comma splice?

A. The cruise ship docked on Oahu, then again on Maui.

B. The pots clanged to the kitchen floor, the kitten cowered under the table.

C. Our friend, who travelled from Tennessee, was quite tired when he arrived.

D. We need help with organization, structure, and spelling.

Option B contains a comma splice.
A better way to rephrase that "sentence" could be:

The pots clanged to the kitchen floor, and the kitten cowered under the table.

The pots clanged to the kitchen floor. The kitten cowered under the table.

The sentence that contains a comma splice is option B: 'The pots clanged to the kitchen floor, the kitten cowered under the table.' This sentence incorrectly joins two independent clauses with just a comma. The correct way to phrase it would be to use a conjunction or break it into two sentences.
