This is the best choice here. "Thanks to (my new job...)" is an idiom which means "on account of", or "as a result of". Donna is telling Horatio that it is because of Bruno that Horatio has become well known and successful in the perfume industry. Another example: "Thanks to your incompetence, we lost $100 million on the stock market yesterday."
This is incorrect. The term "grace" is not synonymous with "thank". "Grace" can be used as a verb in English but has a different meaning. For example: "He graced us with his presence".
This is incorrect. Donna is not thanking Bruno for his contribution to Horatio's success. She is attributing Horatio's success to Bruno's actions. Donna doesn't use the imperative voice in her statement.
