this is a little hard to explain, but it comes down to restrictive vs. nonrestrictive clauses
a restrictive clause is essential for the meaning of the sentence, and does not use commas around it
a nonrestrictive clause is not essential for the meaning of the sentence, and does require commas around it
I can eliminate one option for you (choice B, The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.) "that my father grew up in" is necessary to specify the hold house, and therefore is considered a restrictive clause, and should not have commas around it
go through the other answer choices and try to find the correct one
