Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence in option A shows correct use of an em dash, which can be used to set off an appositive that would require commas. The appositive is an extra information about a noun included in the sentence after it. Or it can be used as parenthetical information, which brings emphasis to the information between the em dashes.
