The sentence that correctly uses a nonrestrictive clause is: "The dog—who is black and brown—jumped over the fence."
In this sentence, the phrase "who is black and brown" adds extra information about the dog but is not essential to understand which dog is being referred to, making it a nonrestrictive clause. Note that there should be dashes or commas around the clause.
