The clause needs to be set off by commas because it is a nonrestrictive element.

What is a nonrestrictive element?

A nonrestrictive element is a group of words that do not reduce the meaning of the sentence if they are removed.

An example is:

James, whose dad is a mechanic, just graduated with a first class.

The non-restrictive element here is "whose dad is mechanic" which is the reason it was separated by commas.

Hence the correct answer is B.
