Answer:

D. Dedicated in May 1922, the Lincoln memorial was built to honor Abraham Lincoln.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only comma needed in this sentence is one at the end of the adverbial phrase Dedicated in May 1922, to separate this modifier from the main sentence. There is no need for a comma between the month and year in an expression like May 1922, and placing a comma between the subject (the Lincoln Memorial) and predicate (was built...) as in option B is also wrong.
