There has been some confusion here for a long time. It is true that when I see you later, the first thing I think of is the perfect tense, but please note that the general premise tense of the sentence is many years ago, not the past tense, so obviously A is wrong. According to this adverbial of time, it refers to the action that happened in the past, so we use the simple past tense.
