To determine the correct answer, we should look for sentences that correctly use punctuation marks to separate items in a list. In this case, the sentence uses a colon (:) after "bake sale" to introduce the list of items, and semicolons (;) to separate the different items in the list. Additionally, commas (,) are used to separate the individual components within each item in the list. This is the standard way to punctuate a series of items in a sentence.
