The sentence choice that does NOT use the semicolon correctly is:
A. it is late at night; and my coffee is not helping with my exhaustion
Explanation:
In order to link two independent clauses, a semicolon is used. The two independent clauses are equal in the position which are joined by the semicolon. The independent clauses are joined by the connectors which are but, and, or, nor, etc when one or more commas appear in the first clause. In the above sentences, the first sentence does not have any comma in the sentence. The other two sentences have independent clauses.
