Answer:

The first one is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because a comma kind of represents a short pause, but a semi colon represents more of a period. on the other side of a semi colon you would sort of explain your sentence. For example, someone might text you, "I have a big test tomorrow; I cant go out tonight" they are explaining why they cant go out.

hope this helps!
