B. colon
Are you sure it's colon and not a semicolon?
Yes, I'm sure it's the colon.
A colon should be used to introduce a list of items containing commas. The colon signals that a list is coming and allows for a clear separation between the introductory phrase or clause and the list itself. A semicolon is not typically used to introduce a list in this way.
