Solution

The correct option is C colors:
The sentence gives a list of colors used by Maria to paint her house.
The punctuation colon (:) is used to introduce a list of items.
Thus, the most suitable answer will be Option A.
An ellipsis (…) is a set of three dots indicating an omission. This punctuation is not required in the given sentence.
A period is used only at the end of a declaratory sentence and not in between.
