Answer:

The phrase that uses colon in the correct form is:

B. Victoria wanted to pursue: horse-racing professionally, she loved horses.

Explanation:

Colons are a grammar element that helps the writer provide information to complement an independent clause. Therefore it is followed by dependant clauses that will provide more information about the first one. But they do it in a very special way, by providing examples of a category exposed in the independent clause. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
