Final answer:

Option B is the correctly punctuated sentence: Every morning for breakfast, Paul has eggs, bacon, pancakes, and syrup.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence with proper punctuation is option B. Every morning for breakfast, Paul has eggs, bacon, pancakes, and syrup.

In this sentence, a comma is used after the word 'breakfast' to separate it from the introductory phrase. Commas are also used to separate the list of items 'eggs, bacon, pancakes, and syrup.' The conjunction 'and' is followed by a comma before the last item in the list.

Incorrectly punctuated options A and C either lack the comma after the introductory phrase or have a comma before the word 'has' without a coordinating conjunction before the last item in the list.
