B. On our trip we will be driving, and taking the train.

The incorrect punctuation here is the comma before "and taking the train." Generally, when you have a compound predicate (two verbs that share the same subject), you do not need a comma to separate the two parts. The corrected sentence should be:

"On our trip we will be driving and taking the train."
