Final answer:

The punctuation error is at [C], where the comma should be inside the parenthesis. The mountain's name 'Mt. Waialeale' should also include 'okina and kahakō according to the Hawaiian language.

Explanation:

The error in the sentences provided is located at letter [C], where the parenthetical information closes with a comma outside the closing parenthesis. This error can be corrected by placing the comma inside the parenthesis. In addition, the name of the mountain 'Mt. Waialeale' should include the Hawaiian diacritical marks as 'Mt. Wai'ale'ale' to reflect accurate spelling consistent with the Hawaiian language which includes the glottal stop ('okina) and long vowels indicated by the macron (kahakō).
