B Correct answer
Explanation

Mary Shelley's maiden name was actually Wollstonecraft (her mother was the famous feminist Mary Wollstonecraft), but she was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. After marrying Percy Bysshe Shelley, she became Mary Shelley. The statement 'her last name was actually Wollstone Craft' contains spelling and conceptual errors - it's Wollstonecraft (one word), and 'Wollstonecraft' was her mother's surname, not her own actual last name.
