A fused sentence occurs when two independent clauses are joined without any punctuation or coordinating conjunction. A comma splice happens when two independent clauses are joined only by a comma. Option A correctly uses a semicolon to join two independent clauses, followed by a conjunctive adverb ("however"), making it neither a fused sentence nor a comma splice.
