    The correct use of punctuation would be letter A because it is two independent sentences turned into one big sentence

    The correct answer is actually D), not A.

    Although these are independent clauses indeed, the punctuation in A, B, and C is not correct.

    Before 'however' there needs to be a semicolon (; ). And after however, you have to put a comma. Therefore D is the correct answer.

    After a comma there needs to be a pause in reading. Does A sound correct to you if you make a pause before 'however' and not after it? Of course not.
