it is not about what commas do, it is about asking what makes the use of the comma appropriate and not the semi-colon?

comma and semi-colon are both punctuations
what makes one better than the other in the problem sentence?

here's a tip, you should always look for punctuations within the sentence. and those that did not contain it must be crossed out
