[vaibhav.iit2002]

Q1. The basic needs of the average cat are simple and largely inexpensive: food, water, affection, and shelter, and occasional visits to the veterinarian.

a. and occasional visits to the veterinarian.
b. with occasional veterinarian visits.
c. with occasional visits to the veterinarian.
d. yet occasionally visiting the veterinarian.
e. but some occasional visits to the veterinarian are needed.

My Doubt: No option is a complete sentence here, which is required after a colon in a sentence.

Answer coming soon

I think we don't need a colon.

I like visits to the vet better than vet visits.

C

A complete sentence isn't required after a colon. It's required after a semicolon. A colon can be used to set off a list of items, just as it does here.
