Explanation:

The original sentence has two independent clauses. The first is "The Microbead - Free Waters Act aims to eliminate tiny plastic beads from soaps and other beauty products" and the second is "microbeads pollute the water and cause internal abrasions in fish". A semicolon (;) is used to separate two independent clauses. Option A has no punctuation to separate the two clauses.
