Where _____ the letters ________?
(A) will; send
(B) will; be sent to
(C) are; going to be sent
(D) was; sent
[my bold, quoted from Hanlin English Question Bank, Book V]
The answer to the above question is option C.
Is option B also acceptable to native speakers?
 
Also note that most BrE speakers would say "Where will the letters be sent?" That's not one of the options.
 
I would leave "to" out of B and say, "Where will the items be sent?" (See post #2.) ("Where are you sending them?" is possible, but that's not one of the choices.)
