Yeah I think the first one is correct as well

The sentence in which a colon is correctly used is that the following runners finished the race: Tina, Creighton, and Charles.

Option A is the correct answer.

What is a colon?

Colon is a kind of punctuation mark used while writing a sentence. It is represented by equal-sized dots placed vertically.

The colon is correctly placed in the first sentence as it represents the interlinkage between the sentences. It divides the sentences which have been incomplete if there is no colon in between. The sentences given in the second, third, and fourth parts need no colon rather there should be a semi-colon used to make a division.

Therefore, the first sentence has perfectly used the colon.
