Hi Nick, thanks for asking a question here on Brainly.

Let's look at each answer and figure out where the semicolon is correctly placed.

A: Many people feel strongly about cleaning the air we breathe; and this passion is a starting point for change. (The punctuation symbol is incorrect. A comma should be used instead.)

B: Many people suffer from seasonal depression; this depression generally occurs in the winter. (This is correctly placed.) ✅ 

C: Srinivas was the first person to finish the test; that meant he was able to go home early; and everyone else was jealous. (While the first semicolon was placed correctly, the second one should have been a comma.) 

D: Bullying acts are not tolerated because they are considered; violent and abusive. ❌ (No symbol would be needed here as it abruptly pauses the sentence.) 

✦ Final Answer: Letter B
