A is OK.
B is not natural. As Yağmur said, it would be better rephrased as “this word can be easily misunderstood.”

Personally I'd use “this word can be easily misunderstood.” since we actually don't want it to be by default like you want a hobby “to be” easy to understand but when it comes to a word we're talking about possibilities we don't like or at least that's the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of it

this word can be easily misunderstood would be a better choice
cuz using those word without rephrased it, is kinda feel like odd
