or
B
and

instead of
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence lists three distinct characters. The conjunction "and" is required to join the last item in a list.
Choice A is incorrect because "or" implies a choice. Choice C is incorrect because "not" negates the wizard. Choice D is incorrect because "instead of" implies replacement.
