• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C seeds, nuts and fruit in the salad;

Compound sentences are those which contain more than one subject or predicate. Semicolon is used to show bigger separation when there is already comma within a sentence for smaller separations. 'Seeds', 'nuts' and 'fruit' are more than one subject in the sentence thus semi colon is used after them to show bigger separation. Hence, option C is correct.
