IMO : - correct answer is B
here is why: read the sentence within parentheses and doing this will make the parallel structure more clearer to understand

the Federal government cannot detain an American citizen indefinitely without cause and (The federal government )is required either to bring charges against the individual being held, in which case he is entitled to a lawyer, or (the federal government) that the government must release him.

kudos will be appreciated

If you can eliminate a word without changing the meaning of the sentence, so do it.

That's the reason why option B is better than option C.
You don't need the word "to proceed"

Is there anything else that is wrong with C apart from wordiness? Is it idiomatically correct "proceed in..."?

Is it GMAT-like to have 2 correct answers with one of them wordy?

I see a problem with OA B - the parallelism is violated.

.. required either to bring or release.... : since "to" is AFTER "either", "to" lies INSIDE the either ..or.. loop and hence must be there after "or" as well.

... required to either bring or release.... correct ("to" outside either.. or .. loop - hence not repeated)
....required either to bring or to release... correct ("to" inside either... or... loop - hence repeated)
.... required either to bring or release...... wrong (option B - inside the loop, yet not repeated)

Considering the above, C is better, although more wordy.

bad question....

idiomatic:
1. either to x or to y
2. to either x or y
anything else is non-idiomatic as far as GMAT is concerned.
