The correct answer is A.

The idea that Sylvia hadn't been expected is not central to the sentence; therefore, it should be set off in parentheses. 

For sentences B-D, however, the parentheses contain information which IS essential to the sentence. This information should not be enclosed in parentheses here.

Only sentence A correctly uses parentheses to set off non-essential information.
