T
The phone call from the admissions office, made me happy.
T
The phone call (from the admissions office) made me happy.
T
The phone call—from the admissions office—made me happy.

Explanation

“From the admissions office” identifies which phone call made the speaker happy, so it should not be set off from the rest of the sentence by commas or dashes. Choice A keeps the phrase directly connected to “phone call” and does not place punctuation between the subject and verb. Choice B incorrectly separates “phone call” from “made.”
