B) Jackie Robinson was pronounced dead in Stamford, Connecticut on October 24, 1972 and was interred in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

A comma is necessary between a City and State (Stamford, Connecticut and Brooklyn, New York) as well as between a date and year (October 24, 1972). No other commas are necessary in the sentence.
