Answer:

Explanation:

The correct sentence that corrects Nico's colon mistake is:

O Prepare for a hurricane by having the following supplies on hand: water, batteries, and food.

In this sentence, the colon is used correctly to introduce a list of supplies that should be prepared for a hurricane. The first letter of "water" is in lowercase because it is not a proper noun.
