According to me, option C is incorrect. It should be my letters.

Why is option C correct?

So far, when indicating a time interval, indicates time from the start of something up to the present moment, with the understanding that it is expected to continue.

Thus, it is only used with forms of the present and present perfect tenses and their progressive forms, as it would with similar phrases like up to now, till now, as of yet, to date, or thus far. So given answer is right.

It should be "any reply to MY letters".
