Option A is incorrect because "consequently" is used incorrectly. "Consequently" means "as a result," which doesn't fit well in the sentence. Option B is an incorrect comma splice. Option C is correct because "therefore" is used correctly as a conjunctive adverb and the sentence is properly punctuated with a semicolon and comma.
