Which sentence used correct punctuation?

A.

Brainliest me dear :)

A is correct.

Explanation:

Colons are used to show that something is following, like a list. Semicolons are used to link two independent clauses, which can stand by itself as a complete sentence, together.

B should use a a colon because the first part of the sentence is not independent.

C should use a colon because quotes always use colons.

D should use a semicolon because the two clauses are independent.

Hope this helps :)
