The correct conjunction to use here is "since," as it shows the cause-and-effect relationship between the two sentences. The correct punctuation for this compound sentence is to include a comma before the conjunction "since." Thus, option B is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because "or" does not show the correct relationship between the two sentences. Option C is incorrect because "however" suggests a contradiction, which does not exist between these two sentences.
