Answer:

D. Her favorite vegetables are corn, beans, peas, and asparagus.​

Explanation:

Sentence D contains an 'Oxford comma'; it is a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before the conjunction ‘and’.

Not all writers and publishers use the 'Oxford comma' because it is an optional comma. For instance, sentence C has a list of three items, yet it does not use a comma before 'and'.

Punctuation is a grammatical tool that is used to organize thoughts. In the last sentence, her favorite vegetables are corn, beans, peas, and asparagus uses an unnecessary comma.

What is a comma?

The comma is a punctuation mark used in sentences to separate the ideas and thoughts in the sentence itself. It gives the idea of a short pause in a sentence and is also used to separate list items.

The last sentence uses an 'oxford comma' that is used to separate the list items and is used before the 'and' of the last item. It is an optional comma that is not compulsory to use.

Therefore, option D. Her favorite vegetables are corn, beans, peas, and asparagus use an unnecessary comma.
