No, A doesn't have a linking verb in it. You can tell because the subject (Sarah) did the action (experienced).
In which of the other sentences is the verb linking the subject to an adjective?

It is letter B-seemed. It links the subject Sarah to the adjective nervous. If you can replace the verb with an = sign or the words is/are, and have it mean almost the exact same thing, then it is a linking verb. A linking verb describes or renames the subject.
Nervous describes Sarah
Sarah is nervous-almost the same meaning as seemed, therefore it is a linking verb.
