Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) Be careful not to confuse length with a run-on sentence. There is nothing in this clause that requires a comma to delineate it from something else, so be aware of avoiding unnecessary punctuation. Choices (B), (C), and (D) all include unnecessary commas that break with the flow of the sentence.
