Solution

The correct choice is A) shade, though;

This choice correctly uses a semicolon to link two independent clauses. The word "though" is used as a transition word between the two clauses. The semicolon is necessary here because the two clauses are closely related in meaning. The comma after "though" is also necessary as it separates the transition word from the rest of the sentence.
