The correct idomatic form of "forbid" is "forbid .... to"
The only sentence that has this in the right form is "c".
We can also eliminate answers based on intended meaning of the original sentence.
The intended meaning is -- no tax increase for next 3 years on connections to the internet.
Eliminate A, idiom error + it sounds like the next three years modifies the act of connecting to the internet.
Eliminate B, idiom error + it sounds like the next three years refers to the Govt. itself
Eliminate D, Non sensical
Eliminate E, idiom error
Hence right answer is C.
