The best choice is (Choice C) "nation: Finland," because it properly uses a colon to introduce a clarification about Finland. The colon indicates that what follows explains or elaborates on the preceding clause more effectively than a comma would.
So the complete sentence would read: "Although Indonesia claims to have the most islands of any nation: Finland, with 180,000 islands, actually has more."
