The answer is right. No corrections. One needs to revise grammar rules thoroughly if this answer seems wrong.

A would be the correct answer.
Because having received your letter is absolutely incorrect.
As per grammatical rules, ing form (I.e having) is never used with the past tense (i.e received).
It may be after receiving/had received.
