Answer

What I think has incorrect punctuation is:

D, The main purpose of parkour is to keep moving forward by combining various movements, (such as the roll, cat leap, precision jump, kong vault, and speed vault) in a fluid fashion.

Why:

the comma on movements is not in the correct placement before the parenthesis and does not fit in, as opposed to this, it should be removed.

I hope this helps!
