The correct answer is option 4.
'On account of' means 'because of'. It does not make the sentence meaningful and therefore needs to be replaced.
The sentence suggests that 'agreeing with your instructions, we have remitted the amount to your bankers'.
'By means of' means 'with the help of' or 'by using'. This cannot be used as it does not fit the context of the sentence.
'On behalf of' is used when 'speaking for someone'. This also does not make the sentence any more meaningful and therefore, cannot be used.
'In accordance with' means 'to bring to an agreement'. This completely fits the context of the sentence.
'Conducive to' means 'to make a making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible'. This also cannot be used as his 'instructions' were not 'conducive' to anything.
Thus, the correct answer is option 4, i.e., Only C.
