Hello wastedyouth.
I'm glad to explain.
The modifier is essential if you remove it, the sentence is not able to keep its intended meaning. That is opposite to Non-essential modifier that you could remove it without meaning changes.
For example:
I bought a new book that was the best selling book last week.
"that was the best selling book last week" is ESSENTIAL because if you remove that part, the sentence - I bought a new book - does not convey the intended meaning. (I just bought the best selling book, not generic book).
Another example:
Our new CEO, who used to be an MBA professor, is very smart.
"who used to be an MBA professor" is NON-ESSENTIAL modifier because the core meaning is that "the new CEO is really smart". So you can remove the modifier without meaning changes.
Take away:
ESSENTIAL modifier + NO comma
NON-ESSENTIAL modifier + Commas
'THAT" is used for ESSENTIAL modifier only.
Hope it helps.

Good question to practice. 
The question sticks with basic grammars tested in real GMAT.
Note:"THAT" never + comma. The rule is: Use THAT (and no commas) if the modifier is essential.
