Since the Bronze Age, the cultures of the region have fallen into three groups: the Minoan culture, the Cycladic culture, and the Helladic culture.

As for the first split, we see the tense difference. The time marker "since" stands for present perfect, so we should choose this tense. Eliminate B, D and E.

Between A and C, we need to choose between a colon and a semi-colon. To introduce the upcoming list, we obviously need a colon. Therefore, eliminate C.

The right answer is A.
