The backpacking frame must have both shoulder straps and a waist strap, the latter strap being...

The underlined part is after "strap" not "straps" -- right?

??

not the word straps is the underlined portion in the sentence

Then the question makes no sense, and no answer is correct.

To determine the best way to write the underlined portion of the sentence, we need to consider grammar rules and punctuation usage.

Based on the given options, the correct option is:

c) strap.The

This option follows proper grammar rules by capitalizing the first letter of the sentence and using a period (.) to end the sentence. Additionally, it correctly places the period immediately after "strap" without any additional punctuation marks.
