B. Insert a semicolon before in fact.

Explanation:

In this case, we are correcting for fluency and punctuation. Here's what each option would create:

A. She never found the shipwreck in fact; she had no interest in diving. As they are, these two thoughts don't really have a reason to be connected, so why are they united with a semi-colon? So the answer isn't A.

B. She never found the shipwreck; in fact, she had no interest in diving. This semi-colon is helpful, because it's combining two thoughts that are related. She never found the shipwreck, yes, but she also no longer had an interest in diving, presumably because of whatever previously happened in the story. This is the right answer.

C. She never found; the shipwreck in fact, she had no interest in diving. Try to read this one aloud, using the commas and semi-colons as pauses. Do you see how clunky it sounds? This one simply doesn't work for punctuation or fluency, right? So the answer wouldn't be C.

Hope this was helpful, and have a great day! :) If you have a moment, could you please mark this as Brainliest if you are so inclined? ^^
