The answer is C because a semicolon is used to join two independent clauses into one. The comma would be the right answer if what you are looking at was worded different

Answer: C

Explanation: A colon should be placed after the phrase which connects a separate phrase. In this case, the first phrase is ‘The question is this,’ and the second phrase is ‘Who stole the cheese?’
