Explanation:

Conjunctions are words that are used to connect words, phrases, or clauses. They help to establish relationships between different parts of a sentence.

In the given options, the correct answer is option 'A' - and.

Reasoning:

1. and: The word "and" is a conjunction that is used to connect two or more words, phrases, or clauses. It is used to indicate addition or joining of ideas.

Example:

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - and, as it is the only word that functions as a conjunction in the given options.
