Explanation

A split infinitive occurs when a word, often an adverb, comes between “to” and the verb in an infinitive. In B, “completely” separates “to” from “ignore”; in C, “quickly” separates “to” from “set.” The other sentences keep “to” and the verb together, as in “to take,” “to practice,” and “To try.”
