Choice B uses the conjunction "since" to connect the two sentences, indicating a cause and effect relationship. The sentence is also punctuated correctly with a comma after "filled" and before "since." Choice A uses the conjunction "or," which implies that waiting for the prescription and the fifteen-minute wait time are mutually exclusive options. Choice C uses the conjunctive adverb "however," which is not appropriate for connecting these two ideas as they are not contrasting. Additionally, the comma after "minutes" is incorrect. Choice B uses the conjunctive adverb "since" to show the cause-and-effect relationship between the two sentences. It is punctuated correctly with a comma. Choices A and C are incorrect because they use the wrong conjunction ("or" and "however") and are not punctuated correctly.
