Answer:

A. to join independent clauses that appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb

Explanation:

A semicolon is the symbol ";" and it is used in a variety of situations:

- to separate a series/list that already includes commas

<em>e.g. I travelled to Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Los Angeles, California.</em>

- to join independent clauses that are closely related in thought:

<em>e.g. When I arrived, I thought I would have time to buy a snack; I didn't.</em>

- and many more

However, the main usage of a semicolon is joining independent clauses that "appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb":

<em>e.g. She didn't study; </em><em>thus</em><em>, she failed the test.</em>

<em />

The answer is A.
