Hi,
Here in this sentence, The actual meaning is Fox is taking Mireille including her (Mireille's) daughter to the Opera.
Having accepted the invitation for tonight's opera at the Disney Hall, Fox is taking Mireille, until recently the wife of yvonne torres, including her two young daughters, student of the Lycee Francais de los Angeles.
1. until recently the wife of yvonne torres,- Modifies Mireille.
2. student of the Lycee Francais de los Angeles- Modifies Daughters.
Here read by ignoring the modifiers. We get Fox is taking Mireille, including her two young daughters. Again the including her modifies Mireille. not fox.
If you use along with it changes the meaning of the sentence, It says fox is taking her two daughters and Mireille to the Opera. Along with Modifies Fox instead of Mireille- So this is wrong
Sentence is correct as is. so answer is A.

Certainly, including describes the subset of a set, and in this sentence "Fox is taking Mireille" I do not see any any vague set, for an instance "bunch of flowers, including roses and Jasmines" here I can see a Set (Bunch) and further (including) describes that set.
As per my understanding answer should be B, along with properly express the sense of companionship.
Experts Kindly shed some light on this.
