Answer:

(A) YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TO BUILD THE SHELF : A HAMMER, A SCREWDRIVER, AND NAILS.

Explanation:

A colon is a punctuation mark that introduces the items in a list. When giving instructions, a colon should be used if the sentence that comes before it can stand alone. If the sentence does not make a complete meaning, then a semi-colon is used. For example, if the instruction began as; You'll need, then a semi-colon would be used.

You'll need; a hammer, a screwdriver, and nails.

In the instruction above, it is ideal that all the letters remain in capital to show that it is an instruction. The colon was also appropriately used to introduce the list of items.
