Explanation:

The original sentence is incorrect.

Reason: As we can observe that the sentence is made in Present Perfect Tense (Have + V3), usage of ‘increasing’ is ungrammatical in the sentence. Instead of it, the adverb ‘increasingly’ should be used here.

Besides, the verb ‘opt’ always takes preposition ‘for’ after it. Therefore, ‘to’ must be replaced by ‘for’ to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Clearly, among the given choices option C replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Students from around the world have increasingly started opting for online education.

Option C is hence the correct answer.
