In general, lists of places do not require semicolons. The correct punctuation to separate places in a list is usually commas.
For example, in the first response, "Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia," commas are used to separate the countries.
In the second response, "Sacramento, California, Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona, and Santa Fe, New Mexico," commas are also used to separate the cities and states.
The same applies to the third response, "North Dakota, South Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia."
The fourth response, "Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia," also uses commas to separate the continents.
So, from the given options, none of them require semicolons.
