Correct Answer:  I went to the store, but I forgot my wallet.


Solution : The correct answer is option 4;I went to the store, but I forgot my wallet.

Explanation:

The sentence has a coordinating conjunction "but" connecting two independent clauses.

The correct way to punctuate this sentence is to put a comma before the coordinating conjunction, but there should not be a comma after "but". Option 4 correctly punctuates the sentence.
