The third one:

Ricardo screamed as he spilled his frozen pineapple slushy.

It is unnatural to put the comma after a verb, so that rules out the first and fourth options.

A comma goes between two adjectives when they mean similar things. For example, big, fat dog is correct, but not big fat dog

Frozen, pineapple slushy.
Pineapple, frozen slushy.

The second one does not make sense, so you can't use a comma. That rules out the second option.

C. Ricardo screamed as he spilled his frozen pineapple slushy.

The use of commas can be tricky, but there are a couple of things we can remember to answer questions like this one:

  • We almost never place a comma after a verb since we should not separate the verb from its object. There are exceptions to the rule, such as when we are introducing an appositive after the verb;
  • We can only place a comma between two adjectives when they are coordinate adjectives. If their places in the sentence can be inverted, then a comma should be placed. If not, then no comma should be used.

  • With that in mind, the sentence we are analyzing here should NOT have any commas.
  • There are no appositives after the verb.
  • The two adjectives, "frozen" and "pineapple" cannot be inverted, so they are not coordinate adjectives.
