(B) Its raining; I should take an umbrella.
(C) It's raining; I should take an umbrella.
(D) Its raining I should take an umbrella.
✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

"It's" (= it is) needs an apostrophe. The two complete sentences "It's raining" and "I should take an umbrella" must be joined with a semicolon, not just a comma (a comma alone would be a comma splice).

"It's raining; I should take an umbrella."

Answer: (C)
