D Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'This is to be informed' is grammatically incorrect. The correct form is 'This is to inform' followed by the person being informed (you). The structure 'This is to [verb]' requires the base form of the verb. 'Informing' creates a grammatically incorrect construction, 'information' is a noun not a verb here, and 'for information' changes the meaning entirely.
