Solution

The correct option is C either ; or
Either and or are correlative coordinators which means they coordinate parts of a sentence. When either is used means the first choice is offered. When 'or' is added means another choice is made. The given sentence is providing choices thus 'either-or' should be used. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
