The correct answer is - Jade has unusual hobbies: stamp collecting, origami, folk dancing, and cake decorating.

You use a colon when you want to make a list of things. However, this colon has to come naturally, without breaking the flow of the sentence. This is why sentences A, B, and D are incorrect, as the colon is just abruptly placed in the middle of the sentence, which is not the case in sentence C.
