The answer to your question would be that the sentence that is punctuated correctly is the following: Michelle Obama, who is a lawyer, has achieved much; who knows what else she might accomplish (A).
Explanation:
The sentence in question contains a nonessential relative clause (who is lawyer). Nonessential relative clauses are offset with commas from the rest of the sentence because the information they provide is not relevant to complete the meaning of the sentence. They can be dropped without altering the original meaning. Then, the semicolon has been used to separate the two independent clauses in the sentence.
1) Michelle Obama, who is a lawyer, has achieved much (independent clause I)
2) Who knows what else she might accomplish (independent clause II)
