Hello!

Answer:

The answer is a. commas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonrestrictive elements are parenthetical in nature and can be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning.

They are typically set off from the rest of the sentence by commas.

For example:

The cat, which was wearing a hat, sat on the mat.
