Passage
The Giant Panda
1. The Giant Panda is one of the best-known and most adored animals in the world. It is a very rare creature and is protected by law in (1) it’s native China, where it lives in the bamboo forests and on the mountain slopes. (2) At one time, Giant Pandas lived at lower altitudes, but farming and land development (3) will have pushed the animals high into the mountains. We really know very little about how wild Pandas live, since so few people have seen them in their natural habitat.
2. In fact, Giant Pandas (4) are by, nature extremely solitary animals, usually avoiding direct contact with other animals and even going out of their way to avoid other Giant Pandas. In (5) there dense habitat, the black and white coat of the Giant Pandas may help make them more conspicuous to each other, which keeps them from (6) encroaching on their neighbor’s territory. Even in captivity where there may be as many as ten to twelve of the animals occupying the same caged area, rarely will you see them play with or acknowledge each other. They will find an unoccupied place in the area and (7) sit down. Content to munch on bamboo or other food items, seemingly totally oblivious of each other. However, at crucial stages in their lives, Giant Pandas must give up being loners for a short time. In the spring, males and females must seek each other out in order to mate.
3. Giant Pandas are known to begin mating when they reach (8) an age of about six years of age. Mating usually takes place sometime between the months of (9) March, and May. During this brief courtship period, Giant Pandas are highly vocal animals. The males (10) bark, and roar as they try to intimidate each other. The female (11) in a tree perches while the male remains on the ground fending off any (12) potentially rivals. Female Giant Pandas give birth between 95 and 160 days after mating. Their cubs are born in dens that (13) they dig in the ground.
4. (14) Therefore, the Giant Panda is always a favorite at any zoo fortunate enough to have one. Its furry white and black body makes the Giant Panda appear cuddly and soft. It has a large, round head and a white face with black patches around the eyes. Giant Pandas have very thick, oily, woolly fur (15) that kept them warm in their natural cold, wet mountain habitat. Their fur is composed of two types of hairs: the top layer contains long, thick, coarse hairs, and a shorter, fine, dense, waterproof fur lies beneath. While Giant Panda cubs weigh just a few ounces when they are born, an adult Giant Panda can weigh 200 to 300 pounds and stand five to six feet tall.

The best answer is c. The question requires you to correctly punctuate the underlined portion of the sentence. The sentence as written makes the second sentence incomplete. Eliminate answer choice a.
A semicolon should be followed by an independent clause, so answer choice b can be eliminated. Since answer choice d would create a run-on sentence, it should be eliminated as well.
