Solution

The correct option is B skill, but
A comma is often required to eliminate confusion or the misreading of a sentence, even if a comma would not normally be called for. Like in the given sentence, the comma is put before the coordinating conjunction, 'but' for a pause and more emphasis.
Thus, the correct answer will be Option B.
A semi colon is put between two independent clauses when the coordinating conjunction is omitted.
The em dash is used to put a more emphasis in comparison to a comma, which is not needed in the given sentence..
