According to the dictionary em dashes are used in writing and printing purposes to show a break in thought or sentence structure
In the above example the correct use of em dashes is in the sentence that is
Instead of another trip – her first choice—Jessica opted to take the shopping spree for her prize.
so correct option is B
hope it helps
