Comma. The comma is the punctuation symbol that has the most uses.
It serves a variety of purposes, but its two primary ones are (a) to interrupt the flow of thought with unnecessary expressions and (b) to separate elements to make the relationships between them more clear.
The comma is the most understated punctuation mark. It doesn't make a big deal out of itself or the material it separates or sets off. Examples of comma usage would only elicit a chorus of "duhs," as it is so widely used.
It suffices to say that a comma is typically the safe option to set off information and separate elements, provided that it doesn't interfere with any functions that are specifically reserved for the colon, semicolon, or parentheses.

Answer:
b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.
Explanation:
The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete <em>was</em> penalized', 'the child <em>was</em> fed', 'he <em>was</em> convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.
