In a formal letter, the purpose of the closing statement is to summarize the content and repeat your purpose. The correct answer is option A. To greet the recipient and introduce yourself and stating the objective for writing is part of the opening of the letter and the elaboration and explanation of statistics is found in the body of the letter.
