How I rejected B is:
in a series of books.... describes the third and not Francis Craig, thus it should be next to the word third which happens in E and not in B.

The Reluctant Monarch, which Francis Craig wrote as her third in a series of books about the British Monarchy.

A) The Reluctant Monarch, which Francis Craig wrote as her third
=> Sentence fragment because no verb is there.
B) The Reluctant Monarch is the third book written by Francis Craig

=> It seems that Craig is in a series.

C) Written by Francis Craig, The Reluctant Monarch, which is her third book

=> It is a fragment.

D) Francis Craig wrote The Reluctant Monarch, which book is her third

=> It is a run on sentence.


E) The Reluctant Monarch, written by Francis Craig, is her third

=> The CORRECT choice.

Experts, please clarify the following sentence:

The Reluctant Monarch, written by Francis Craig, is her third in a series of books about the British Monarchy.

Is the above sentence correct?

=> Her refers to "Francis Craig", which has been used in the modified phrase. I am in confusion.

Please shed some light on it.

Thanks.
