C. two weeks before the deadline.
While it is technically possible to request a letter of recommendation two weeks before the deadline, this should be considered the very latest point to do so, and it is not ideal. Letters of recommendation require time and effort from the recommender, and it is more respectful and professional to provide them with ample time to write a thoughtful letter. Asking for a letter with only two weeks notice may rush the recommender and could potentially lead to a less comprehensive or insightful letter.
