2. The rays from the sun from which plants make oxygen, could be harmful to the skin if they penetrate the ozone layer too much.
3. The movie was funny, about which you told me before.
4. Our circumstances are beyond our control, which eventually led us to go separate ways.

Q3) Are both sentences 3 and 4 correct English or acceptable English even with a comma inserted before "about which" and "which" ?

Q4) As for sentences 3 and 4, is it common that even a native English speaker write sentences 3 and 4, using a comma to set off "about which" and "which"?
