The correct answer is B because a semi-colon is the best way to join the two sentences since they are both independent.

Hope this helps :)

the answer is b.

The semicolon or semi-colon (;) is a punctuation mark that separates major sentence elements. A semicolon can be used between two closely related independent clauses, provided they are not already joined by a coordinating conjunction.
