Answer:

the correct anwer is option d) "Robert wanted a new car; however, he couldnĀ“t afford to buy one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence D is correctly punctuated since it is used as a conjunctive adverb. In the example provided, "however" is joining two independant sentences in order to create a compound sentence.

The correct punctuation is using "however" after a semicolon and before a comma.

The rest of the options do not follow the punctuation rule mentioned before.
