B. Many Americans travel to Costa Rica during the winter months, the peak seasonbecause of the warmer temperatures found at many of Costa Rica’s tropicalbeaches and lush rain forests.
C. Many Americans travel to Costa Rica, during the winter months the peak season,because of the warmer temperatures found at many of Costa Rica’s tropicalbeaches and lush rain forests.

Answer 1

To my mind the correct answer is (A).

"Many Americans travel to Costa Rica during the winter months, the peak season, because of the warmer temperatures found at many of Costa Rica’s tropical beaches and lush rain forests. "

In this sentence, the author decides to add additional information through an APPOSITIVE PHRASE. If the writer decides to delete "the peak season" from the sentence, the meaning of the sentence will remain.
