In spoken English "in order to" is perfectly fine.
On the GMAT exam, GMAT folks prefer simplicity -- so they would want you to choose the answer choice that is simply "to" instead of "in order to"....
There are many examples similar to this one that we point out in our verbal SC course. Oftentimes, the GMAT is not necessarily about what is right or wrong -- it's about what is PREFERRED vs NOT PREFERRED. That is the approach we teach to our students and our results speak for themselves.
