Hello. You did not enter the answer options, which makes it impossible for me to provide an answer exactly. However, I will help you in the best possible way.

A nonrestrictive clause is a phrase that presents extra information in the sentence, without modifying or restricting the meaning of the main sentence, and can be excluded from the sentence without causing damage to the cohesion of the text. To use a nonrestrictive clause in a sentence, you must use commas. Commas will be used correctly, when you put a comma before the nonrestrictive clause and another comma after it.

Take the sentence as an example: After I drank orange juice, my favorite, I got very sleepy.

The phrase "my favorite" is a nonrestrictive clause, so it should be in the middle of two commas.
