Answer;

C. Our training for the race paid off; we did not even have any muscle soreness the day after.


Explanation;

This is because when using a semicolon, you are joining two or more ideas.

Semicolons are used most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought.
