To determine if a sentence is punctuated correctly, we need to check if it follows the rules of punctuation. In this case, the sentence correctly uses an em dash (—) to set off the phrase "on a weekend afternoon." An em dash is a punctuation mark used to indicate a break or interruption in a sentence and can be used instead of commas, parentheses, or colons. Therefore, option d is the correct choice.
