Commas are punctuation marks that are used to give pause in a sentence when there is none given by a punctuation and also to separate ideas, or words within a set. Usually, commas must come after using connectors, like However, or Finally, when using conjoining words like but, for, or so, when separating information in a clause that is related. An apostrophe, is also a punctuation mark that is used when stipulating the plural of a singular word, when you are joining two words, called conjoined words, or when you are establishing possession.

In this case, the correct choice would be A because the apostrophes are used first, to establish the plurality of the surname Jonhson, which always needs to go with apostrophe followed by an s, the comma between the initial clause, followed by the comma and the joining word, so, and then the second clause, which is a list of related words that make part of series within the clause that need to be separated with commas. Finally, because A is the only option where the conjoined words do and not are properly joined by the apostrophe.
