Explanation

The titles are items in a series, so commas separate them, and no comma belongs between “wrote” and the first title. Choice B correctly punctuates the list: Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. Choice A adds an unnecessary comma after “wrote,” while D leaves out the commas between titles.
