C Correct answer
Explanation

The original phrase 'respond in favour' is grammatically incorrect. The correct construction requires a past participle 'responded' with the adverb 'favourably' followed by the preposition 'to' for the object. 'Responded favourably to' creates a grammatically and meaningfully correct sentence.
