I believe your answer would be c, as marks of punctuation go before quote lines(sorry I can't remember the names of ") Hope this helps!

Punctuation is what we should analyze in these sentences. Taking into consideration that there are two punctuation marks, colons and semicolons, that go outside the quotation marks, the sentence that is written correctly is:

C. Greg said they would give the drummer “one last chance”; I think they should look for a new drummer.

In this case, the quotes mark off the phrase one last chance, and the semicolon is placed outside them.
