A) is correct
We might say it more like, "I have been studying English for about a year."

The first one is the most correct, although it still isn't a perfect sentence.
I would rather say:
I have been studying English for approximately/about a year.
Remember, the use of 'have been' makes this sentence present perfect progressive tense (which describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future).
