Read the sentence.When Letasha went to the store, she bought several baking goods: milk, sugar, and cinnamon.

The text before the colon—“When Letasha went to the store” is a dependent clause, but the full text before the colon includes “she bought several baking goods,” making it a complete sentence. A colon can follow a complete sentence to introduce a list, so the colon is correctly placed and necessary. Choice B says the introductory text can stand alone.
