Choice A uses the coordinating conjunction "and" correctly to connect two independent clauses, and it is punctuated correctly with a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Choice B is incorrect because it uses too many commas, making the sentence awkward and incorrectly punctuated. Choice C is incorrect because it uses a semicolon instead of a coordinating conjunction to connect the two independent clauses, which is not the correct usage for a semicolon.
