Solution

The correct option is D desserts:
The given sentence gives a list of traditional Continental desserts. A semi colon (;) is used between two independent clauses when the coordinating conjunction is omitted. Therefore, using a semi colon in the given sentence is incorrect.
Option A - An ellipsis (…) is a set of three dots indicating an omission. This punctuation is not required in the given sentence.
Option B - A comma is used in a list to separate a series of items and not before that.
Option C - The punctuation colon (:) is specifically used to introduce a list of items. Therefore, the correct answer will be Option C.
