Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. They will not sanction to copy without permission.
Will not sanction copying
The verb "sanction" (meaning to officially approve or permit) is followed by a gerund, not an infinitive, when its object is an action.
"Will not sanction copying" is grammatically correct, since "sanction" should take the gerund form "copying" rather than the infinitive "to copy".
The remaining options either retain the incorrect infinitive structure or introduce an unnecessary passive construction that changes the intended meaning of the sentence.
