Which sentence uses a semicoloncorrectly?

(Remember, a semicolon joins two
complete sentences.)

A. There was a door for a tiger and one for a lady for the
princess's lover; on trial.

B. The most savage tigers were found for the arena;
beautiful ladies were also searched for.

C. The princess was angered by the lady; even though the
lady didn't know her.

None of these are correct.
Are you sure there’s no D? A complete sentence needs a subject, object, and verb, and none of these have all of them present in the two sections (on either side of the semicolon).
