    Answer Explanation

    In Option A, the em dash is used to set off the list of tools (hammers, saws, chisels) from the main part of the sentence. The em dash indicates a stronger break than a comma and helps to provide clarity and emphasis on the list of tools the carpenter must use. The sentence is correctly punctuated, and the tools are appropriately separated by the em dash.
