b. A semicolon is used for two independent clauses that are directly related. (Jerry loves tennis; he plays every day.) None of the other options have two independent clauses.

Use a semicolon instead of a comma between independent clauses that are NOT joined by and, but, or, nor , for , so, or yet. Example Carrie enjoys watching basketball; Mai would rather play.
So I would say that the answer would be
If you ask me; Jerrry is a tennis whiz.
Hope this helps
