B, in its entirety: Among the largest of the flying squirrels is the Japanese giant flying squirrel, measuring two feet from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, a wingspan of more than a foot and a half, and weighing up to five pounds.
First, note the lack of parallel structure. One could write: x-ing, y-ing, and z-ing, but in B we have x-ing, y, and z-ing.
Moreover, the phrase, "a wingspan more than a foot and a half" seems to be modifying "its tail," which is clearly not a "wingspan."
