Explanation: The most common uses of semicolons are, when using conjunctive adverbs (however, therefore, finally, likewise, etc) to join two independent clauses, we place the semicolon before the adverb (option C is incorrect because "however" isn't joining two clauses), and the other common use is to join two related independent clause without the use of any conjunction like "and," "but" or "or" this is the case of the option D, we have two related independent clauses " She had made up her mind" and "she was going to travel the world one way or another" joined by a semicolon.

Self-reflexivity is a literary device that consists in making the author's manner of composition the main focus of attention. While the writer tells a story, he/she also tells the readers about the choices made and the organization and structure of the text. This literary device allows the readers to be inside the writer's mind; however, sometimes the writer does not always tell the truth. In that way, it is necessary for the reader to be able to distinguish what is real from what is not.
