You are correct. Sentence B is punctuated correctly: "I have visited three countries: Spain, Portugal, and France."

To determine the correct answer, we need to ensure that the punctuation is used correctly within the sentence. In this case, we are listing the countries that have been visited. The correct punctuation in this context is the colon ( : ), which is used to introduce a list or explanation. Sentence B uses a colon after "countries," indicating that a list of countries follows.

Sentence A incorrectly uses a colon before "Spain," which is not necessary. Sentence C uses a semicolon (;), which is used to separate independent clauses and is not appropriate for this context. Sentence D incorrectly places "including" before the countries, which is not grammatically correct.

Therefore, sentence B, "I have visited three countries: Spain, Portugal, and France," is the correct answer.
