Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence needs appropriate punctuation.The part according to Jang should be in apposition.That means that the phrase is enclosed by a comma at the beginning of it ,and another ant the end of it.The information provided by a clause in apposition is additional though , in this case, not less important.
