A is a run-on sentence.
B is improper use ofquotation marks.
C is OK, but..
D is correct - two complete sentences. (For the other folks out there, the subject in the second sentence is understood to be 'You')

There is no punctuation in choice "a," where a breathe would be natural, so this is probably not the right answer.
On "b", here is no need for quotations around just one part of this. The speaker is the same, after all.
In "c," even though some people really do talk like this, the grammar tends to favor a period in cases where each clause or phrase could stand alone.
And so the right answer is
d. I know you have it. Just give it to me.
What you have done here is to break up a long string into two short correct sentences.

Is there more than one complete sentence. Look at the basic structure of the two expressions and decide. The answer "C" is incorrect. "You" is an understood subject and doesn't need to be at the beginning of a sentence however it is acceptable usage if it was used.
The answer below states "D" as the correct answer and I agree. However, the sentences can be written two different ways and still have the same meaning.
I know you have it. Just give it to me. OR
I know you have it. You, just give it to me.
"You" is automatically understood as being the subject even though it isn't included in the sentence. That's why the two are considered to be separate sentences.

LOL
every single person who replied "c" is incorrect. "i know you have it, just give it to me" is obviously a comma splice, which is when two independent clauses are joined with nothing but a comma. people, you need something called a CONJUNCTION here.
the right answer is "d." a previous poster said that it can't be "d" because the second sentence ("Just give it to me") is missing a subject, but he's wrong. whenever a sentence is in the command form, a.k.a. the imperative form, the subject is "you." it's not there, but it's called an implied subject. i mean, if you think about it, the speaker IS talking to "you," right?
