Final answer:

Option C: Sue and Jamie drove to dinner, but the restaurant was in Richmond, Virginia.


Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses commas correctly is option C: Sue and Jamie drove to dinner, but the restaurant was in Richmond, Virginia.

The sentence correctly uses a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'but' and before the state name 'Virginia' to separate it from the rest of the sentence.

Using commas correctly helps to clarify the meaning of a sentence and makes it easier to read.
