C Correct answer
Explanation

This tests the 'the + comparative...the + comparative' structure indicating correlation. Both clauses should use the same subject ('he') and maintain proper grammatical structure. 'The faster he walked' must be followed by 'the earlier he reached' - both use past tense and the correct comparative form. Option A incorrectly switches to 'you'.
