Answer 1

The third one

Step-by-step explanation:

The colon is used to separate independent clauses, usually as a way to lead the first sentence into the second one. The first one's first sentence is not an independent clause, so a colon doesn't work. The last one doesn't work either, as a semicolon is not typically used to introduce anything. The rest use commas, which aren't used to introduce anything either.
