D Correct answer
Explanation

The first sentence is incorrect. The correct structure of the second sentence is 'The box is much too heavy for me'. The 'much' in 'much too heavy' means by a large margin and it modifies the whole phrase 'too heavy' whereas 'too much' simply means overfull and can only quantify volumes.
