The correct one is number 3. Comma before and isn't necessary. I know because I was the best English student in my set then.

ScaffoldCON:
Sentence 2 & 3 are correct.

Unfortunately, the instruction requires only 1 correct answer. Depending on the examiner, respondents who choose either 2 or 3 will be scored correctly or wrongly. Regardless, they are both correct.

Sentence 2 is the typical one we are all used to. In certain sentences, using the style would be wrong. That's why sentence 3 is used - the comma usage is regarded as the Oxford comma - to improve reading flow.

Sentence 2 is mostly attributed to American style - some argue. Whereas, sentence 3 is British.

In the end, they both have right and wrong usage. But, in the question, 2 & 3 are correct.

If you quote me - because you're interested enough - I could look up comparative examples for you, just to clarify.

Contrary opinion? Do share.

Can you answer this question.

The fourth sentence, the comma after the And is called.

Home Grammar Punctuation How to use a comma (,)

How to use a comma (,)
A comma marks a slight break between different parts of a sentence. Used properly, commas make the meaning of sentences clear by grouping and separating words, phrases, and clauses. Many people are uncertain about the use of commas, though, and often sprinkle them throughout their writing without knowing the basic rules.

Here are the main cases when you need to use a comma:

in lists
in direct speech
to separate clauses
to mark off certain parts of a sentence
with 'however'
Using commas in lists
You need to put a comma between the different items in a list, as in the following sentences:

Saturday morning started with a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and French toast.

The school has a vegetable garden in which the children grow cabbages, onions, potatoes, and carrots.

The final comma in these lists (before the word ‘and’) is known as the ‘serial comma’. Not all writers or publishers use it, but it is used by Oxford Dictionaries – some people refer to it as ‘the Oxford comma’. Using it can make your meaning clearer. Take a look at this sentence:

My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon and ham and cheese.

It isn’t entirely clear from this sentence whether the writer is listing three or four of their favourite sandwich fillings: is ‘ham’ one of their favourites and ‘cheese’ another, or is it ‘ham and cheese’ that they like? Adding an Oxford comma makes the meaning clear:

My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon, and ham and cheese.

Using commas in direct speech
When a writer quotes a speaker’s words exactly as they were spoken, this is known as direct speech. If the piece of direct speech comes after the information about who is speaking, you need to use a comma to introduce the direct speech. The comma comes before the first quotation mark. Note that the final quotation mark follows the full stop at the end of the direct speech:

Steve replied, ‘No problem.’

You also need to use a comma at the end of a piece of direct speech, if the speech comes before the information about who is speaking. In this case, the comma goes inside the quotation mark:

‘I don’t agree,’ I replied.

‘Here we are,' they said.

There are two exceptions to this rule. If a piece of direct speech takes the form of a question or an exclamation, you should end it with a question mark or an exclamation mark, rather than a comma:

‘Stop him!’ she shouted.

‘Did you see that?’ he asked.

Direct speech is often broken up by the information about who is speaking. In these cases, you need a comma to end the first piece of speech (inside the quotation mark) and another comma before the second piece (before the quotation mark):

‘Yes,’ he said, ‘and I always keep my promises.’

‘Thinking back,’ she added, ‘I didn’t expect to win.’

Oga yemobrown, abeg come finish the lecture on the usage of comma, please.

I have been having issue with it and will appreciate if you complete the other usage of it.

Thanks.

We have arrived. (As a self-acclaimed Grammarian)

As a Nigerian, the right use of the comma is:
You'll need butter, milk, flour and eggs.

But when you use Grammarly, that's if you're writing for a foreign audience. The right use of the comma is:
You'll need butter, milk, flour, and eggs.

So just get Grammarly and save yourself the stress.

foreign audiences or not, the only correct answer is C and that's it. You can't use a comma before or after the "and" because it'sole purpose is to connect words, phrases or clauses- most especially when listing items. There are exceptions though, but not in this context
