Answer:
D. Change the semicolon to a colon.
Explanation:
The colon is a punctuation mark that is not used much. But it helps in listing items. It is used majorly when the sentence contains or introduces a list that is important for the sentence.
In the given sentence, <em>"exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate" </em>are the list of things that comprise Naia's family's New Year's Eve tradition. Therefore, they will be introduced by a colon instead of a semicolon.
Thus, the final sentence will become-
<em><u>Naia's family has several New Year's Eve traditions; exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate</u></em>.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Explanation:
