The given sentence can be divided into adverbial clause and the main clause. The adverbial clause begins with a subordinating conjunction. In this case, a comma must be placed in order to separate the adverbial clause from the main clause.

The en dash can be used between words to represent conflict, relation or direction. However, its use is not required in the given sentence.

A semi colon can only be used with independent clauses.

Thus, the correct answer must be Option C.
