Answer 1

I think the answer is C, because you use semicolons to link two independent causes that are related in thought.

Answer 2

When you make compound sentences is when you usually use a semicolon. Using the fanboys method I can determine the correct answer.

A. Whenever I feel afraid; I think of Aunt Margaret.
