    Hello! Gramatically, let's look at each choice-

    (a) says: Mrs. Anderson flies to Sweden tomorrow her plane leaves at 2:00 P. M.

    This can't be right, because it's a run-on sentence! If someone were to say this outloud, it would sound as if someone wasn't "taking their time"!

    (b) says: Mrs. Anderson flies to Sweden tomorrow, her plane leaves at 2:00 P. M.

    This one looks correct. It has a comma which adds a pause. It also connects both statements made in the sentence.

    (c) says: Mrs. Anderson flies to sweden tomorrow, and her plane leaves at 2:00 P. M.

    This one wouldn't be correct because its listing ideas with "and" in between. It's as if the speaker is saying "she does this and this and that and that ... "

    So your best choice would be B.
