Explanation:

To determine the sentence with proper punctuation, we analyze each option:

• The first option: "Depending on the weather, Richard might wear either his winter coat or his red hoodie." uses a comma after the introductory phrase "Depending on the weather" to separate it from the main clause, and the "either...or" construction is correctly punctuated without an unnecessary comma.
• The second option: "Depending on the weather Richard might wear, either his winter coat or his red hoodie." has incorrect punctuation as the comma after "wear" is misplaced and there should be a comma after the introductory phrase.
• The third option: "Depending on the weather Richard might wear either his winter coat, or his red hoodie." has an unnecessary comma after "coat" in the "either...or" construction and lacks a comma after the introductory phrase.
• The fourth option: "Depending on the weather Richard, might wear either his winter coat or his red hoodie." has an incorrect comma after "Richard" and lacks a comma after the introductory phrase.

Answer:

A. Depending on the weather, Richard might wear either his winter coat or his red hoodie.
