The answer would be:
**D. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting, but other people find it depressing. **

Why?
A is incorrect because the comma is *before* "but." That is grammatically incorrect.

B is incorrect because one can't have a semicolon if they're aren't two *complete* sentences.

C is incorrect because "But other people find it depressing" is not a complete sentence capital letter or not.

Answer:

D. Some people find Angelou's poetry to be inspiring and uplifting, but other people find it depressing.

Explanation: The clause other people find it depressing is an independent clause. When two independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet), add a comma before the coordinating conjunction.
