Solution

The correct choice that completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English is "tenure; however,". This choice correctly uses the semicolon to link two independent clauses and the comma after "however" is used correctly as it is an introductory word in the second clause. So, the completed sentence would read: "The efforts to preserve these sites did not end with his tenure; however, they continued with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission which has designated almost 40,000 properties as landmarks since the 1960s."
