How should the sentence "We ordered lobster since it was our anniversary." be rewritten to begin with "Since it was our anniversary..."?

Since it was our anniversary; we ordered lobster.
Since it was our anniversary, we ordered lobster.
Since it was our anniversary we ordered lobster.
Since it was our anniversary, and we ordered lobster.

The correct answer is: Since it was our anniversary, we ordered lobster.

The correct answer is B. By starting the sentence with "Since it was our anniversary," the sentence maintains a clear and concise structure while effectively conveying the reason for ordering lobster. This option does not introduce unnecessary punctuation such as in option A or awkward phrasing such as in options C and D. It presents the information in a straightforward and cohesive manner, making it the most appropriate choice for a sentence rewrite.
