D is correct, yes.
The punctuation that is missing from the sentence is a comma (A). To determine the correct answer, let's break down the sentence:
"I didn't bring Tom, my younger cat, or Anne, my young hamster I did bring Taylor, my parrot."
In the sentence, the speaker is listing different animals they brought and didn't bring. To separate each item in the list, a comma should be used. However, in the provided sentence, there is no comma after "hamster" before "I did bring Taylor, my parrot." This is a punctuation error.
The correct sentence should be: "I didn't bring Tom, my younger cat, or Anne, my young hamster. I did bring Taylor, my parrot."
So, the missing punctuation is a comma (A).
