Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

'Washing her hands at the sink' shows us what is going on at the moment. 'Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.' shows the problem. And the reason you need a comma before and after 'Alice' is that her name is added information but not needed.
