The correct answer here is the last sentence: I like ice cream; it is delicious. A semicolon links two separate ideas, both with a subject and a predicate. Think of a semicolon as a means to connect two separate sentences with two separate subjects. Using this logic, only the last sentence correctly does this. Hope this helps!
