The proper answer would be A. The answer would not be C because a semicolon- ; is an indication that you are about to create a list when in this sentence you are just stating another idea. It is appropriate to indicate that there is a pause in the thoughts, therefore a comma- , as stated in answer A would be most appropriate. 

Does that makes sense?
