Im not sure why the answer is A isn't there a hydrogen bonded to a Nitrogen so by n=1 rule shouldn't there be 2 splits?

The H 's bonded to Ns or OH groups do not cause splitting I believe
That is correct. This is a very difficult question to give to high school Chemistry students. It is bad enough that we have to learn about spin-spin coupling to reveal the fine scale structure in proton-NMR spectra. But then to ask students to remember the exceptions to the rule is really cruel, in my opinion. The absence of spin-spin coupling is particularly relevant to primary alcohols; the hydrogen in the hydroxyl OH group does not count as a neighbour for predicting peak-splitting. The spin-spin coupling between adjacent hydrogens normally does not cross over another functional group.

wait also for this which is 13C NMR is it for the carbon bonded to a carbonyl group?
