Which is the best use of punctuation?

B correctly uses parentheses to set off extra information explaining the Industrial Revolution; the sentence still reads smoothly without that phrase. In C, the comma incorrectly separates “economics” from “and history,” which are joined as items in a series. A’s dashes interrupt the subject awkwardly, and D’s parentheses break up the sentence’s main structure.
