I think it's A...

Somewhere else, they said it was B, but that doesn't seem like whats being modify to me

anonymous · Answer

three seems to be an extra detail, not what the sentence is about. And it really is talking about Deannes choice, not her. So it would be A right?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah.  Picked and three are modifiers and they go with colors.  So it would be A.
