Right.

The correct answer to the question is option C. "The Dead Sea Scrolls shed new light on the Old Testament and give a firsthand account of Jewish life early in the Christian era."

In this sentence, there is no error in the use of punctuation marks. The sentence is a compound sentence where two independent clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and." There is no need for a comma before the conjunction in this case.

To determine the correct answer, you can go through each option and check for errors in the use of commas. In option A, there are commas used correctly to separate the items in the list. In option B, the commas are also used correctly to separate the items in the list. In option C, there is no error in the use of punctuation marks. And finally, in option D, there is no need for a comma before the conjunction "and" since it is not joining two independent clauses.

So, by process of elimination, the correct answer is option C.
