    D. Her favorite vegetables are corn, beans, peas, and asparagus.

    Explanation:

    Sentence D contains an 'Oxford comma'; it is a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, before the conjunction 'and'.

    Not all writers and publishers use the 'Oxford comma' because it is an optional comma. For instance, sentence C has a list of three items, yet it does not use a comma before 'and'.
