How to approach this kind of question
Punctuation questions often turn on how two complete sentences are joined. Find the linking word and the words on each side of it, and ask whether each side could stand alone as a sentence. Then think about the job of each mark: a comma, a semicolon, a colon and a period each do something different. Choose the version whose marks all do the right job.
