I think it's the second sentence or the last sentence. Though I am leaning more towards the last sentence

The sentence which has been correctly punctuated is THE LAST ONE.

The last question is well punctuated because it has a comma after the initial adverbial phrase, and then it has a colon to introduce an enumerating list. In addition, the items enumerated are separated by commas which is also correct.
