Answer
A
Even though, my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family.
B
However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal, cat, Max.
C
I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards, with my mom.
D
I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.
Explanation
The phrase “who is an excellent athlete” adds extra information about the dad, so it should be set off with commas. Choice D correctly places a comma before and after that phrase: “I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.” The other choices add commas where they are not needed or place them incorrectly.
