The correct answer is B. The colon is correctly placed and necessary because the introductory text can stand alone.

Explanation:

In grammar, the colon is a punctuation mark that is used to introduce a list of items within a sentence. Additionally, as any other punctuation mark colon use need to follow grammar rules, one of the most important rules is that colon should be used only if the information before the colon is complete and can stand alone, otherwise, the colon would separate essential elements in a sentence which is not grammatically correct. This means in the case of the sentence "When Latasha went to the store, she bought several baking goods: milk, sugar, and cinnamon", the use of colon is correct because it introduces a list and the previous information or introductory text "When Latasha went to the store, she bought several baking goods" is complete and can stand alone.
