The colon is correctly placed and necessary because the introductory text can stand alone.

Explanation:

In the above statement, the first part of the sentence is an independent clause and can stand alone even without the adjoining words "milk, sugar and cinnamon". But the second part of the sentence is not. And the colon is necessary as it introduces or provides the list of the items bought.

Either way, as the independent clause can be used alone, we can say that the second option is the right answer.

true. the definition explains it: a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. this is a dictionary definition that i have looked up in a dictionary.
