B. "Tina has never been very self-aware, but we love her anyway."

Explanation: Sentence B correctly uses the comma before the coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses and the hyphen in "self-aware."
A needs "sugar-free," C needs "forty-first," and D is awkwardly phrased (though the comma is acceptable, "mud-spattered" or rewording would be clearer).
