No rule here. (See what I did there??)
Other examples:
No man is an island.
No chicken is more beloved than Penelope.
No time like the present.
And so forth.
The takeaway: don't invent rules.
I hope that clears things up!

D is the best among the choices offered and i correctly answered the question.
But, could someone please comment on the usage of semicolon in the sentence inspite of the 2nd clause being a dependent clause.
Thanks

Here's that second clause again:
Quote:
Notice that this can stand on its own grammatically, since it has a subject and a verb, and doesn't throw in a word like "although," which would make it dependent. (A "subordinator" for the jargon-lovers.)
It's true that you'd need the first clause to understand the meaning, in the sense that we don't know what the "million others" refers to without context, but independent clauses refer to other clauses all the time. If I write, "Tim is a jerk; he often yells at squirrels," it's true that I don't know who "he" is without the first clause, but it's also true that the second clause is grammatically independent. Same deal in (D).
I hope that clears things up!
