Answer: It's B, since it actually uses 2 commas to close that part, kind of like parenthesis, and nonessential means you dont have to put it, and if you subtract that "an island chain in the pacific ocean," it still makes sense. use this to learn. Next time try to subtract the part enclosed in commas, and see if it makes sense!
