B Correct answer
Explanation

Sydney Barnes holds the record for most wickets in a Test series, taking 49 wickets for England against South Africa in the 1913-14 series. Jim Laker's famous 19-wicket match was in a single Test, not across a series. Harbhajan Singh and Clarrie Grimmett, while great spinners, did not achieve this series record.
