Correct but if there was a comma after the noun (the boys) it would have been option B in relation with the rule that guards relative clause
(non - restrictive)

Based on the rules of English grammar regarding clauses, the best option is A. Only some of the boys rioted and they were suspended.
The Logic
This sentence uses a defining relative clause ("who rioted").
The clause "who rioted" restricts the meaning of "The boys" to only those specific individuals who participated in the riot.
It does not imply that all boys in the school rioted
