Answer 2

None of the given options.

• In the given question none of the sentences is correctly punctuated.
• The correct punctuation for the given sentence would be:
• I have three favourites: shrimp, chicken, and beef.
• The first punctuation mark is a colon. A colon precedes an explanation, a list or a quotation/quoted sentence.
• The next punctuation is a comma. Here the comma is used as a serial comma which is used between items in a list.
• In the last instance, i.e., between "chicken" and "and" the comma could be inserted as well as omitted. It is one of the most disputed linguistic questions in the English language.
• Therefore, the answer is none of the following
