Final answer:

The correct sentence is 'The rain (which is very heavy today) will soak you, so put on a raincoat.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The correctly punctuated sentence is:

The rain (which is very heavy today) will soak you, so put on a raincoat.

The correct option is the fourth one. This sentence uses parentheses to set off the phrase 'which is very heavy today' as additional information about the rain.

The comma is placed before the closing parenthesis. It also includes the coordinating conjunction 'so' to indicate the consequence of the rain soaking you, followed by the imperative phrase 'put on a raincoat'.
