B) The most read magazine in America is National Geographic, whose total monthly circulation is around 8.5 million copies.
Can someone please explain why ' A ' is wrong? I understand why ' B ' is correct. But isn't ' A ' also correct?

Hi,
'totaling around 8.5 million copies' is a modifier that modifies monthly circulation. Now remove the modifier and check whether the sentence makes sense.
The most read magazine in America is National Geographic, with monthly circulation. - This makes no sense at all. Hence A is not correct.
Hope it helps.
