Only two of the four sentences contain a direct address.  A direct address exists when someone addresses someone directly, meaning speaks to them by name.  In (A), Walt is being addressed.  In (C), Denise is being addressed.  Direct addresses are always set off (separated from the other words) by commas.  If the direct address is the first word in a sentence, it is followed by a comma.  If the direct address is the last word in a sentence, it is immediately preceded by a comma.  If the direct address appears elsewhere in the sentence, it is sandwiched between commas.  For example,  "I was wondering, David, if you'd mind helping at the event?"  By the way, when a title or endearment functions in a sentence as a name, it is also considered a direct address:  "If you don't let me go to the party, Mom, I'll never speak to you again."  In your problem, (C) contains the direct address that is punctuated properly because Denise is followed by a comma.

Why does Edwards claim that nonbelievers are akin to spiders in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Edwards uses this comparison of non-believers to a spider to show that should God decide to send someone to hell, he or she does not have the power to stop it. Even if the non-believer felt assured and arrogant about it, he would still not have the ability to keep himself out of Hell. Option I is incorrect because Puritans, like Edwards, did not believe that any of God's creations were a mistake. Option III is also incorrect because the purpose is not to show the expendable nature of the spider, but rather the almighty power of God.
