It's a semicolon!! I got it I think
Right.
Yes, you are correct. The correct form of punctuation to use when using a conjunctive adverb to create a compound sentence is a comma.
A conjunctive adverb is a word that connects two independent clauses (complete sentences) together. Examples of conjunctive adverbs include "however," "therefore," "meanwhile," "in addition," and "consequently."
When using a conjunctive adverb to connect two independent clauses, you need to place a comma before the conjunctive adverb and a comma after it. For example: "I wanted to go to the party, but I was feeling sick." Here, the conjunctive adverb "but" is used to connect the two independent clauses "I wanted to go to the party" and "I was feeling sick," and it is separated by commas.
So, in the case of creating a compound sentence with a conjunctive adverb, option C (comma) is the correct form of punctuation to use.
