Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

After agreeing to another ceasefire; they returned to their former claimed areas.

ceasefire; they returned
ceasefire they returned
ceasefire: they returned
ceasefire, they returned
