Which sentence correctly uses commas to set off a non-essential clause?

A The car, that was parked illegally, received a ticket.
B My brother, who lives in Canada, is visiting next month.
C Students who study diligently usually perform well.
D The book which I borrowed is due tomorrow.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Non-essential (or non-restrictive) clauses provide extra information and are set off by commas. 'Who lives in Canada' in option B describes 'my brother' but isn't essential to identify him.
