Option A is the correct answer because it uses the coordinating conjunction "and" to join two independent clauses, and it is punctuated correctly with a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Option B is not correct because it unnecessarily repeats the comma after "Microsoft." Option C is not correct because it uses a semicolon instead of a comma before the coordinating conjunction. A uses the coordinating conjunction "and" to connect two independent clauses and is punctuated correctly with a comma before the conjunction. B incorrectly uses commas to separate the subject and verb of the second clause and after "Microsoft." C incorrectly uses a semicolon to separate the clauses.
