Hey Patrick!
I found one reason to eliminate "D".
We can't use "she" after "and"!

Tanuj ran to the police and he filed the FIR. ( wrong)

You can use a comma with a conjunction to link two independent clauses. In your example, the first one might be better since the actions are directly connected. But something like:

would be absolutely fine.
