Explanation:

1. In the first option, a colon is misused. A colon should introduce a list, explanation, etc., and here a semicolon would be more appropriate to separate two independent clauses.
2. In the second option, “moreover” is a conjunctive adverb. When it connects two independent clauses, it should be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. Here it is just separated by a comma which is incorrect.
3. In the third option, “additionally” is a conjunctive adverb. It should be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma when separating independent clauses. Here the punctuation is wrong.
4. In the fourth option, the semicolons are used correctly to separate independent clauses, and the commas within the second - clause are also used appropriately.

Answer:

Her legacy is immortal; in fact, her impact on future generations is undeniable.
