Answer 1

The correct answer is **D**.Here's why:* **A** is incorrect because it uses periods after each country's name instead of commas. A colon is used correctly to introduce the list, but the items within the list should be separated by commas.* **B** is incorrect because it uses a hyphen before "and." While sometimes a dash can be used for emphasis, a comma is the conventional way to separate the last item in a list.* **C** is incorrect because it uses periods after "countries" and "twice." These should not be separate sentences.* **D** is correct because it uses a colon to introduce the list and commas to separate each item in the list. This is the standard and correct punctuation for this type of sentence.
