The correct answer is ";".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• The original sentence is directly quoting a series of independent clauses from "The major".
• Generally speaking, a semicolon (';') allows for a more nuanced, complex relationship between the clauses, as compared to a period ('.').
Therefore, the sentence should be: 'The major said, "We shall fight in the world; we shall fight on the landmasses; we shall fight in the mountains."
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
