The correct answer is C. Michelle Obama was reluctant to become involved in politics; however, she is a popular first lady.
When it comes to separating the conjunction however from the rest of the sentence, the general rule is that it should be preceded by a semi colon (;), and followed by a comma (,) as is the case in sentence C. Thus, all other options are incorrect.
