My series of events.

8. However I failed in Thesis subject on 20-Dec-2015 in Fall 2015,After I applied OPT.[/B]
9. Enrolled for repeat in Thesis subject in Spring 2016.
Question
1. As per RFE, I need to submit completion of all elements of master degree program. However I do not have graduation certificate since I am repeating thesis subject.
So what are my options?
Option 1: Submit RFE response with transcript and DSO letter ?
Option 2: Request DSO to withdraw OPT application if possible.
As per my current SEVIS records program end date is 16-Dec-2016 so almost near to complete 60 days period.
I have transcript but in thesis subject it shows F grade.
