The correct answer can be determined upon rules that state how you can use a comma.
Quoted from businessinsider,
"Use a comma before any coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) that links two independent clauses. ...
Use a comma after a dependent clause that starts a sentence. ...
Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence. ...
Use commas to separate items in a series."
