In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.
(A) so as so marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry
(E) in order that he would marry

we need a reason over here why does king ought to have his marriage innulled and for introducing a reason we need usage of "so x that y" therefore, option D is correct.........and adding to this "so x that y" is an idiom

i don't think there is any such rule that the use of so that is wrong.

C is wrong because annulling the marriage to Catherine does not result in Henry being married to Anne; it results in his being ABLE TO marry her.

There's nothing wrong with "so that" for expressions of purpose.
