(im sorry i accidentally typed c)
 I MEAN A
 They are all technically correct, but I would prefer using answer "A" above all others. The semi colon is a highly underused and under appreciated form of punctuation in today's grammar. This is useful because it carries on the general topic of the phrase without totally stopping or breaking up the sentence.
