Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Use semicolons to separate items in a list when an item already contains commas. In choice B, “apple, cinnamon, and maple” contains commas, so semicolons clearly separate it from the other flavors. Choice A also lists place names that contain commas, but it separates those places only with commas; choice C uses semicolons for a simple list that needs commas.
