Solution

The correct option is A tables:
The sentence gives a list of items of furniture that Michael sold at his garage sale. A colon is used to introduce a list into a sentence. Thus, a colon should be used in place of the semi colon. However, a semi colon can be used to link complicated items in a list.
A comma is used to separate different items in a list.
An ellipsis is generally used to represent a trailing off thought.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
