Explanation:

The phrase "the tallest mountain in North America" is a non-restrictive appositive that provides extra, non-essential information about Denali. Non-restrictive appositives need to be set off by commas on both sides. Additionally, the prepositional phrase "on their first day in Alaska" is a final adverbial phrase that does not require a preceding comma here.

Answer:

A. They went to Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, on their first day in Alaska.
