Explanation
Reasons why other options are incorrect:A) grammatically places "each other" after the verb "send," which is not the typical subject-verb-object order in English. Additionally, "each other" can be ambiguous as it could imply only two people sending cards, not necessarily all three.B) also suffers from the same grammatical issue as option A and the potential ambiguity of "each other."C) is grammatically incorrect as "one another" should not be repeated. Additionally, starting the sentence with "I" might seem to emphasize your role in the action, which might not be the intended meaning.
