Answer Explanation:

Choice A has a comma before and which makes it incorrect.
Choice C has an s after the apostrophe in ladies's, hence it is incorrect.

Choice D also has a comma before and making it incorrect.
Note: And is a joining word and hence should not have commas before or after it.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
