The non-essential clause is underlined in sentence C. "Its coloring, which is brown and green, allows it to hide in marshy areas". This clause is non-essential because it can be dropped without chaning the meaning of the sentence. The information it contains is not considered essential for the sentence to be complete.

Its coloring allows it to hide in marshy areas.

As you can see, the non-essential clause can be removed and the sentence still expresses a complete thought and the same meaning as the original sentence.

What is more, the essential clause is underlined in sentence D. "The person who sells souvenirs is in the lobby". In this case, the relative clause is essential because the information it contains is necessary to identify the person referred to in the sentence. This is not any person who is in the lobby but the one who sells souvenirs. If you remove the clause, the meaning of the sentence is changed.

The person is in the lobby.

The information contained by the relative clause is essential. And, as you can see, the clause is not between commas.

Why is the B-52 bomber a classic still to this day?

Naddik [55]

Over its sixty-year lifetime, the B-52’s avionics, flight hardware, and weapons systems have been upgraded. In 2006, the fleet received a “mid-life” upgrade to its avionics, adding modern processors and navigation systems. In 2014, the Air Force gave the BUFFS their first new communications system since the 1960s, including full-color LCDs to replace the old cathode ray tube screens. On the weapons front, the airplanes are due to receive weapons-bay upgrades, enabling them to hold more smart bombs, and radar enhancements, potentially including the Active Electronically Scanned Array Systems technology. Used by fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor, the digital radar system is vastly more precise and offers higher resolution than conventional radar dishes.
