Choice.A

Ambani was a millionaire. Being a rich family,they were used to having servants all around to do their work.

The sentence is correct in terms of grammar as it effectively uses commas to set off nonessential information. The phrase "Being a rich family" is a nonrestrictive clause providing additional information about the subject, Ambani. Commas before and after the clause indicate that it can be removed without affecting the sentence’s core meaning.
