-
my sister, kamini, studies in Merry Hearts Public School.

My sister, Kamini, studies in Merry Hearts Public School.

Option C is the correct answer because it has all the necessary punctuations. The sentence starts with a capitalized word, 'My' and the proper noun 'Kamini' is also capitalized; there is a pair of commas before and after 'Kamini' to express the fact that the name of the sister is not exactly necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence; and the name of the school is also capitalized because it is the name of an institution.

We use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause. In the given sentence, the fact that Hari is the narrator's brother is not really essential to complete the meaning of the sentence. That is the reason why 'my brother' has been separated by a pair of commas. The sentence also promptly ends with a full stop and the proper nouns are correctly capitalized. Hence option B is the sentence with the correct punctuations.
