To determine the correct answer, you can look for the use of the semicolon. A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence.
In this sentence, "The stadium is located next to the school" and "it does not take long to walk there" are two independent clauses that are closely related. Therefore, a semicolon is used to correctly join them.
The other sentences either do not use a semicolon where it is needed or use a semicolon incorrectly.
