Solution
The correct answer is C. "Aaron loves ice cream, but he ate two gallons of it and got really sick." This sentence correctly combines the three independent clauses using a coordinating conjunction ("but") and a conjunction ("and"). The use of "but" shows a contrast between Aaron's love for ice cream and the consequence of eating too much of it.
