Not since Galileo suffered the “scurvy humor” of the Inquisition has a religious organization so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist that he could pursue a theory.

(A) has a religious organization so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist that he could pursue

(C) has a religious organization so effectively curbed the ability of a major scientist to pursue

Please explain me the difference between A and C.

In A, has....curbed the ability.... that...is incorrect idiom (ability that)

(C) has a religious organization SO effectively curbed ... to pursue

IMO A

Can you explain why idiom "so X that Y" is not tested in this example?

Even if you consider so X that Y, are X and Y parallel here? No.
Moreover ability to is a correct idiom.
