Answer: The correct choice is (a).

Every pet comes with a learning curve (for care) not to mention a huge amount of responsibility.

Explanation: Parenthesis are punctuation marks used for complementary explanations. They are used to add extra information that isn't necessary but is still helpful.

For example: Mom wants us home (before 3 p.m.).
