The sentence that correctly uses commas to separate coordinate adjectives is option D.

The Library of Congress appointed W.S Merwin to the prestigious, respected position of Poet Laureate Consultant.

The coordinate adjectives in this sentence are the words "prestigious" and "respected".

Coordinate adjectives are the adjectives which talk about the same noun. They appear in a sequence in the line and are separated with the help of commas. There is a way to find that whether a comma is required between the adjectives or not. The way is to ask a question that is the meaning of the sentence is the same if the adjectives are reversed or not. If the meaning is the same, then they are coordinate adjectives and if the meaning gets distorted or is changed then they are not coordinate adjectives.
