Which sentence uses a semicolon correctly?

A semicolon correctly joins two independent clauses—groups of words that could each stand as a sentence. In A, “Alabaster Caverns State Park is located in Oklahoma” and “it is near the northern border of the state” are both complete sentences. The other choices use a semicolon before a dependent clause or a fragment, or before “but,” which should follow a comma here.
