Step-by-step explanation:

Punctuation in English grammar is one of the most important aspects of writing or using correct English. It involves the usage of and correct placement of the different punctuation marks such as the full-stop, comma, question marks, etc. as and when necessary.

Among the samples of the same sentence given in the options, the sentence that correctly uses the punctuation pattern in the commas is sentence b. In this sentence, the use of the commas after the words "Anderson", "Winesburg", "Ohio", and "Asimov" are correct as they are rightly placed to give distinctness yet separate them in their own way.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
