Can you use hence without ending sentence?
Example:
"Although A is good, I chose B because it is beneficial to me; hence, I chose B as my first option."
It is for an essay.
Thanks in advance

Unnecessarily wordy.
"Although A is good, I chose B as my first option because it is beneficial to me."

Yes, you can use hence without ending a sentence. I think you must, in fact. I can't think of a way to use hence as the end of sentence. In your example, however, there is no point in using hence at all, because the phrase with hence in it merely repeats what you already said when you said 'I chose B'.
If you really want to use hence, then say 'A is good but B is beneficial to me; hence, I chose B.'
