Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Use semicolons to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas. In choice B, “apple, cinnamon, and maple” contains commas, so semicolons clearly separate the three flavors. Choice A also lists place names containing commas but separates them with commas, while choice C uses semicolons for a simple list that should use commas.
