Concept: We are given two separate sentences that belong to the identical context within the question. We all know that conjunction is employed to affix two separate sentences without altering their structure.
We know that the Pacific isn't the biggest ocean thanks to its area. it's the most important ocean because there's no other ocean larger than its area. The sentence given to us within the first option is grammatically correct but semantically incorrect. So it is an incorrect answer.
An area of 16 5.25 million square kilometers isn't speculated to be a clause within the sentence, it's the main clause in itself. So it is an incorrect answer.
‘And’ is the most appropriate conjunction because it doesn't alter the structure of either of the sentences. It doesn't change the initial meaning of the two sentences too.
Hence, option C is the correct option.
