Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation: Sentence A lacks a closing comma for the appositive phrase "Anna Marie," sentence B lacks both the opening and the closing comma, and sentence C lacks the opening comma for said appositive phrase (the latter results in an illegal comma that divides the subject from the verb).
