As I understand, idiomatic use of "same" are "same as", "same to", "same to X as to Y", etc. and it is wrong to say "same of" or "same that".
Requesting experts to comment on this.

D : wrote a newly discovered letter doesnt make sense
E : same reason as D

(B) A newly discovered letter by Jonathan Swift, written in the same year of publication as Gulliver's Travels
(C) A newly discovered letter by Jonathan Swift, written in the same year that Gulliver's Travels was published

Please suggest what is wrong with Option B - -- I think it should be same year of publication as that of Gulliver's Travels

Option C is correct -- that should be in which same year in which Gulliver's Travels was published
