This would be the answer:
"Either Maria will pick up the birthday cake, or her brother Shawn will stop by the bakery."
The correlative conjunction is highlighted in bold, and it's used correctly. The other answer choices contain correlative conjunctions, but they are not connecting two sentences correctly. The answer would be B!

Have a nice day! :)
