The sentences that correctly use commas in a series are:
B. For breakfast, I had eggs, toast, and coffee.
C. The cat, the dog, and the rabbit played in the yard.
Sentence A is missing a comma before "and," which is often called the Oxford comma, and sentence D has "charger clothes" which seems to be a mistake; it should likely be "charger, clothes."
