The tides rose high, and crashed down on the rocks.
The flower was very pretty, perhaps it was the prettiest flower I've seen.

Lets use your question sentence:

Answer 12

i think its a because you cant put and to start a sentence

Answer 13

You are correct that it is improper to start a sentence with the word "and", but we have to look closer at the sentence you are given.

The sentence is:

I am already late, and I haven't fed the dog.



The \(\bf\color{lime}{comma}\) "," splits the sentence into two parts, making it a more complex or "\(\bf\color{lime}{compound}\)" sentence.

If we were to make it a simple sentence, it would look something like this:
I am already late. I haven't fed the dog.

But it doesn't look like that, rather, the two sentences are compounded by adding a comma.
