  1. entered

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - reached
“Reach” takes a direct object, so “have reached this office” is correct. “Arrived” would need “at” (“arrived at this office”), “entered” is not used of documents reaching an office, and “received” would wrongly make the documents the receivers.
