Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The word mischief is an uncountable noun and cannot be used with countable determiners like "many" or "many a" in standard English.
To express a large amount of an uncountable noun, we use much.
Therefore, "many a mischief" should be replaced with much mischief.
Hence, option A is the correct improvement.
