The correct choice for punctuating the sentence when quoting part of it is:
A. Samuel liked outdoor activities...so much that he looked forward to summer all year long.
The ellipsis is appropriately used here to indicate that part of the original sentence has been omitted. The other options use incorrect punctuation for the context of the sentence.
