I think "So X as to Y" is correct.This idiom is used to denote cause and effect.

In OG 12 Question no:37 this idiom is referred.

Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.


(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic
(B) it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic
(D) such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical
(E) there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical

In option C the idiom "So X as to Y" is not in correct format.Tats y its wrong.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Not sure dude but the construction of C itself makes the usage so X as to Y wrong.
I think if C were "it is so debilitating as to become an economic" then C would have been correct.
