Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Semi colons are used for 2 independent sentences which are related.

Option 1 is WRONG because the words after the semicolon is not an independent sentence. If a "colon" was used here, it would be correct.

Option 2 is WRONG because of the same reasoning above, but using a "colon" here would still be wrong.

Option 3 is WRONG of the same reasoning for option 2.

Option 4 is CORRECT because it has 2 independent sentences combined with a semicolon which the topics are also related to eachother.

Hope this was helpful.
