Cevap
The correct answer is the option that links the clauses using a semicolon and the transition word 'indeed' followed by a comma.
The correct option correctly uses a semicolon to separate the two independent clauses. The first independent clause ends with the word 'act', and the second independent clause begins with the transition 'indeed'. Using a semicolon is the standard way to connect these clauses since no coordinating conjunction is present. Additionally, the conjunctive adverb 'indeed' is followed by a comma, which is the correct convention when introducing an independent clause.
