Answer 1

I want to say it's D but I'm not to sure but it's the only one that makes since in my head
@JohnNewman what do you think?

Answer 2

They all make sense, a person can understand generally all of those sentences, the case is which answer choice uses proper punctuation.

A is wrong, because when using commas to chain a list you end with and <insert object here>, not just a comma followed by an object.
B is wrong, because of the premature comma after in.
C is wrong because if your creating a list, and using semicolons you do not follow that structure.
D is correct, as it means the criteria of having and before the last item in the list.

Something of interest, the list has three entries:
Denver, Colorado
Boston, Massachusetts
Vienna, Virginia.

These are places, the being part is the city, while the ending part is the state. I think they did this to attempt to trip you up. Personally I would prefer the writer to use semicolons to be more clear when separate items in a list, when some of those items already contain commas. I also believe that it is valid to do so, of course, that is just my style of writing. D is valid in any case, but would probably be disliked in real world usage.
