Answer:

D. Johnathan Spikelman (Spike for short) is the lead scorer on the Philadelphia Yellow Jackets (an arena football team.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parentheses should be used "around nonessential information or abrupt changes in thought" or "to clarify preceding words" (UAGCU.edu Writing Center).
