C., I believe, because it doesn't need any extra commas because you can say it in one breath without pausing.

Here are the correct ways of writing A and B:

A--Please, Sasha, come home as soon as you can. (CORRECT)

B--I need sugar, butter, and eggs from the grocery store. (CORRECT)

Answer: C.

Step-by-step explanation: In sentence A, it is unnecessary and awkward to separate the complement "as soon as you can" from the rest of the predicate, and in sentence B, the same is true for "from the grocery store." Only sentence C is properly written and needs no punctuation.
