You can not convey yourself, you can convey to others. So express yourself.

We can only use the term "Express" for the gestures and explanation of words by human being.

Convey is to make an idea or feeling understandable to someone while express is to convey the idea or feeling into words or gestures.

When we use express and when we use convey?

Actualy both are same but cannot is the most common usage and hence cannot is preffered over here.

No option A is not correct as we cannot convey overself messages use to be convey we use to express our self.

What about option A can anyone tell me if it is correct or wrong ?

The only context in which can not, two words, occurs is as an emphatic alternative: "You can do it, or you can not do it." In that case, it is clearly two separately spoken words, with the not given special emphasis, and equally clearly it means something very different from cannot, namely "have the option of not (doing something)." The only acceptable form for the unabbreviated negative of can (or, if you prefer, for the expansion of can't) is cannot, one word.
