The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option A. We grated one-third of that chunk of cheddar cheese. This sentence is correctly punctuated because of the compound word "one-third". It is a general rule that all spelled out numbers are considered as compound words, that's why they should be connected with a hyphen.
