The correct sentence is c. "Not all mouse traps are designed to kill mice; some merely trap them."
The correct sentence is:
c. Not all mouse traps are designed to kill mice; some merely trap them.
Explanation:
In this sentence, there is a clear separation between the two clauses that deliver different information. The semicolon (;) indicates a stronger break compared to a comma. Since the first clause "Not all mouse traps are designed to kill mice" is a complete thought and the second clause "some merely trap them" is also a complete thought, using a semicolon is the most appropriate punctuation choice.
