Answer: A.

Explanation: "De Vaca was a Spanish explorer" and "he was shipwrecked..." are two independent clauses (i.e., they could each stand alone as a sentence), that's why they can't be joined with a comma; the semicolon is the right punctuation mark for such cases. Options B and C both make this mistake, leaving only option A as correctly punctuated.

The tense is all mixed up, but it looks like present is used most often, so "emitted" should be changed to "emits" and "pulled" should be changed to "pulls." I can't see the entire paragraph so just make sure that's consistent.

You don't need a comma in "running towards us with the fire extinguisher."

"Your mother and me" should be "Your mother and I." For reference try taking our "your mother" - it sounds pretty silly to say "me thinks" unless you're in the 1600s, right? And it should be "think" instead of "thinks."
