Final answer:

The correctly punctuated sentence is option B, where the titles of Van Gogh's painting and Don McLean's song are enclosed in quotation marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is B) "I have a large copy of Van Gogh's "Starry Starry Night" hanging in my house and love the song "Starry Starry Night" by Don McLean." The titles of paintings and songs should be enclosed in quotation marks to indicate that they are works of art. In this sentence, both the painting by Vincent van Gogh and the song by Don McLean need to be acknowledged with proper punctuation to differentiate the titles from the surrounding text. This clarity helps the reader understand that these are specific titles, and not just descriptive language.
