Hello!
Answer:
D. The Maharini felt nervous about going to a strange land; she felt certain that she would be stared at.
Explanation:
The purpose of a semicolon is to connect two independent clauses that are closely-related by narrowing the gap between the sentences (e.g. by replacing a period or without using a conjunction such as and).
For example, in this sentence, the semicolon replace the conjunction "because".
The sentence could also be written as: The Maharini felt nervous about going to a strange land because she felt certain that she would be stared at.
To double check if you are using a semicolon correctly, you can always try to substitute a conjunction in as shown in the above example to figure out if it makes sense or not.
