An infinitive phrase is a phrase that proceeds after the noun or subject and the modifier. This kind of phrase begins with the word "to" plus the modifier. In this case, among the sentences given, the one that has "to" only is sentence A where the modifier is the movies

Correct answer is:
C. The letters to send are in the folder.
An infinitive phrase contains the word "To" followed by a verb. So the word "To" in the sentence is followed by the verb send
