I use to sent mail using account C but the reply i got came into account A. Why its not replied back to C again ?

If account C sends through the gmail smtp with account A's User Name (accountA@gmail.com), recipients will see the message as sent from account A, so their replies will go to A.

You should have 4 smtp servers, with the same settings, smtp.gmail.com, 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, but different User Names (email address), and set each account to send on the matching smtp.

Open Tools/Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the left pane. Create the 4 gmail smtp servers, giving each one a unique description such as smtpA, smtpB etc. Each one has the same settings except for the User Name. Then, select each account in the left pane of Account Settings, and select the correct smtp in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) drop-down in the right pane, i.e. account A sends on smtpA, account B on smtpB etc.
