Finding maximum value of a column in a matrix

Hello, I would really appreciate any help I can get here. I have a 3x5 matrix, A= [4 9 7 8 8; 2 1 0 3 5; 6 3 3 2 1]. I want to find the maximum value in column 1 and have the output display the corresponding row values of that maximum value. That is B = [6 3 3 2 1]. Please how can I achieve that? Thank you.

[~,x] = max(A(:,1));
B = A(x,:);

>> A= [4 9 7 8 8; 6 1 0 3 5; 6 3 3 2 1]
A =
4 9 7 8 8
6 1 0 3 5
6 3 3 2 1
>> B = A(A(:,1) == max(A(:,1)),:)
B =
6 1 0 3 5
6 3 3 2 1

Thank you James. What if i have 2 maximum values in matrix A, that is A= [4 9 7 8 8; 6 1 0 3 5; 6 3 3 2 1]. is it possible to display the two corresponding rows? that is B = [6 1 0 3 5; 6 3 3 2 1]
Thank you Andrei. It worked perfect.
