Explanation
"I must, therefore, ask for tolerance from the board" — "therefore" is the conjunctive adverb expressing consequence, set off by commas mid-sentence. "Thus" is possible but less idiomatic here, "for example" introduces an illustration, and "likely" expresses probability rather than consequence. Option (A) fits best.
