25 POINTS ON THE LINE

Sentence B is the correct option. When using "however" to write a compound sentence, we should write a semi-colon before and a comma after it. When "however" is used at the beginning of a sentence, we should write a comma following it.

Explanation:

B is correct.

Explanation:

B is correct because if you follow the rules of punctuation, you would put a semi-colon before and a comma after the word however because it is a compound sentence. After the word however, the sentence keeps going so it is considered to be a compound sentence.
