Answer 1

"D) She had many groceries, written on the list; bread, eggs, milk, ice cream.

This is the correct option which brings out the correct meaning of the statement.

There should be a comma given after groceries and written because they both aim to bring out different meanings and are two different phrases.

There should commas given after the name of each item to express them as different identities and a full stop at the end of the statement.
