Answer 1

What is your guess @JohnNewman :)

Answer 2

A.

Answer 3

Well as far eliminating options would go, D is optional. (pun intended)
Also, B would be incorrect because there is in fact obviously an error.
Its down to A or C.
What particularly makes you choose A?
Remember that when you read it out loud, there is going to be a pause. Identify the pause with the punctuation. :)
