Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Life has taught me an important lesson: the more I waste time regretting something I did, the more I lose time in trying to fix it.

According to the general rule, a colon is used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related or, when one illustrates or explains the other.

The first word in every sentence should begin with a capital letter. If a dependent clause is followed by an independent clause in a sentence, a comma should be used between them.

Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer is Option B.

The remaining options are incorrect.
