The sentence that contains an error in punctuation pertaining to commas is:
B The rain fell in steady, repetitive, cycles throughout the night.
The word "cycles" should not have a comma before it, as it does not separate items in a list. The corrected sentence should read: "The rain fell in steady, repetitive cycles throughout the night."
