Respuesta :

A. They decided to meet where the band was performing

essential clause, because its existence is important for the meaning of the sentence. Because of that, it is not set off by commas. 

Answer:

They decided to meet where the band was performing.

Explanation:

Restrictive clauses are clauses that are essential to the full meaning of the sentence and consequently, they are not separated or framed by commas. Therefore, if we were to remove a restrictive clause from a sentence, the meaning of the sentence would change, or it would be incomplete.

The sentence They decided to meet where the band was performing has a restrictive clause (where the band was performing) because the information of it is necessary to the meaning of the sentence. Besides, this clause is not framed by commas like the rest of the sentences are.
