No, A isn't OK. They must try their best [to get good marks] to win the first prize.

Hello Bobzhao,
Regards has provided you with the correct answer and excellent examples.
I understand your question because "as" is often taken to mean "because". But since "because" is not offered as an answer, the only possible alternative is "in order that". This phrase, however, is actively discouraged by contemporary style guides (Strunk and White 4th edition, The Economist
