Definitely, its A since who is the prolific architect here ? - Julia ! - who is getting modified ... so it should come immediately after a comma

Well, at first I didn't like for some reason the part of the sentence with "notably..." for some reason.. but then i plugged in the choices.. and actually none of them plugs in correctly... all sound very incorrect to me. therefore I would choose A.
