To find the solution to the system of equations, we can substitute the first equation into the second equation:

x + 3y = 13
(y - 3) + 3y = 13

Simplifying the equation, we get:
4y - 3 = 13
4y = 16
y = 4

Now we can substitute the value of y back into the first equation:

x = y - 3
x = 4 - 3
x = 1

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (1, 4).
The correct answer is A.
