Explanation:

Punctuation in Sentences

To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly among the options given, we will analyze each one:

  1. A. My parent who is a police officer is retiring this year.
    This sentence is incorrect because it lacks commas to properly set off the non-restrictive clause "who is a police officer."
  2. B. My parent, who is a police officer is retiring this year.
    This sentence is also incorrect because it has a comma missing before "is retiring." For proper punctuation, the sentence should have a comma before "is".
  3. C. My parent, who is a police officer, is retiring this year.
    This sentence is correct because it properly uses commas to indicate that the clause "who is a police officer" adds extra information about "my parent" but is not essential to understanding the main point of the sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is C: My parent, who is a police officer, is retiring this year.
