Well Credited with and credited for both are correct idiom. It all comes down to in what context you are using.
John should get a lot of credit for the team's success.....Here Credit for is the correct idiom.
Credited with is generally used when some achieved is done......Newton is credited with various laws.

In your sentence A should be right.

In your example, B is the correct idiom. You credit someone WITH doing the thing that he/she did. Newton is credited with discovering...

You credit some attribute TO a person/entity responsible for creating it.
The success of the mission was credited to years of hard work.

You give credit (used only as a noun) FOR something in exchange.
We received credit for all of our hard work.

"Credit as" is never correct.
