Check your reading assignment for rules on punctuating adjective clauses.
Did you get (B) ?
The one with no commas?
The comma is inserted to offer a pause in the sentence. If you say each out loud, inserting a comma and not inserting a comma, it should sound right. As an example read out loud the sentence I just wrote, pausing where I put a comma. Then do it again but don't pause. Hear the difference?
