Option C is the only example that shows coordination of ideas by using the conjunction "and" to combine two separate pieces of information into one sentence. It links the fact that Mark is a morning person with the fact that he always comes to work at 7 a.m. sharp. The other options use different constructions, such as appositives (option A and B) and contrasting ideas (option D and E), to convey information about Mark.
