Explanation:

In English grammar, a colon is used to introduce a list or an explanation. Here, "Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Man Ray, and Max Ernst" is a list of Dadaist artists. A semicolon is used to separate independent clauses or items in a complex list with internal punctuation, which is not the case here. The simple verb - object structure "included Marcel Duchamp" without any unnecessary punctuation is the most appropriate.

Answer:

included Marcel Duchamp
