Its good to see your approach but why not Op A....

"oil barge ran aground off the coast of San Juan" which consequently causes "leaking" and then "causing"....Is this because of the use of the word "while" before CAUSING in Op A makes it incorrect??? or there other issues are also there????

Op B is no doubt WRONG, because look at the pronoun IT, IT can not refer to "leaking" and its the leaking which caused the pollution not the OIL BARGE or CARGO

for example, consider two statements

1) Stock market crashed and caused a loss to the share holders---WRONG
2) Stock market crashed, causing loss to the share holders-----RIGHT

first statement, Stock market crashed and Stock market caused a loss to the share holders this statement is wrong as crashing cause the LOSS NOT the stock market
