Their earnings are such that they find it difficult to make both ends to meet.
Ato makings both ends meet

Cto make both ends meet
Dfor making both ends to meet
ENo correction required
Correct Answer: Option C
Rule:-
After words like "make, bid, feel, hear, see, watch, behold, dare etc. " we use "bare infinitive".
For example
I heard him speak on several problems. Here heard him to speak can not be used.
He dared not come near me. Here, also to come is not used.
Similarly, in "to make both ends meet", we can not use "to" before meet because it is preceded but make.
