Explanation:

Sentence I: They decided to subscribe to the new magazine instead of the famous and popular one in the market.

Here ‘subscribe’ means to buy regularly against a monthly or yearly fee

Sentence II: We are of the opinion that we cannot subscribe to the new theory.

Here, ‘subscribe’ refers to the feeling of an agreement with a view or opinion.

Sentence III: I decided to subscribe to him since he is my superior.

The word ‘subscribe’ has not been used in this sentence in any meaningful manner and doesn’t fit in this context. It is not possible to subscribe to a person as such.

So, option C is the correct choice.
