Choose the sentence that correctly uses a semicolon.

A The concert was fantastic, the band played all of their hits.
B She decided to study abroad; however, she needed to save more money.
C My favorite colors are; blue, green, and purple.
D He finished his work early; then, he went home.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

A semicolon correctly joins two independent clauses connected by a conjunctive adverb like 'however'. Option A is a comma splice. Option C incorrectly uses a semicolon to introduce a list. Option D uses 'then' as an adverb, not requiring a semicolon between independent clauses unless a conjunctive adverb is present.
