C because in a and b have the comma in the wrong place, and in d it doesn't make any sense at all.

The answer would be c.

The correct answer is option C, which properly uses commas to set off the phrase 'by the way' and maintains clarity. The other options contain errors in comma placement. Understanding comma usage helps improve sentence structure and readability.
