Which statement is punctuated correctly?

“Her favorite sport” is extra information identifying hockey, so it should be set off with commas on both sides. Choice C correctly places commas around this phrase: “Selena started playing hockey, her favorite sport, when she was seven because her older sister was a star goalie.” Choice B is missing the comma after “sport,” and the other choices place commas incorrectly.
