    Solutions
    The correct option is D. A semicolon (;) is used to join two related independent clauses instead of a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet). Since there are two related independent clauses in the sentence, a semicolon would be used.

    A comma (,) is used to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet. An exclamation mark (!) is used at the end of a sentence or a short phrase which expresses a very strong feeling. A question mark (?) is used at the end of a sentence which is a direct question.
