The correct option is: Although Juanita is naturally shy, she has very well-developed public speaking skills. This option correctly joins the two sentences by using the conjunction "although" to show a contrast between Juanita's natural shyness and her well-developed public speaking skills. The comma is used to separate the dependent clause ("Although Juanita is naturally shy") from the independent clause ("she has very well-developed public speaking skills"). This punctuation helps to clarify the structure of the sentence and make it grammatically correct.
