Prepostional phrase marked is wordy

Last "and" makes fourth item as a part of the list while its in a different league altogether

Ignore the part in orange and read the rest of the sentence. The parts in blue are a list separate from the part in green. If you included the part in green in the list it would read "speculative bubbles in obsession." This doesn't make any sense.

Therefore, we need to put and before the U.S. stock market in the 1920's to complete the first list and add as well as after it to show the the obsession for beanie babies is a separate list.

I choose B
