The correct answer is letter "C": Increase the price of Internet service during peak times.

Explanation:

The best form to regulate the use of internet service during peak hours would imply increasing the price of the internet. This will cause people to use their connectivity service moderately to avoid increasing their expenses. By demand law, as long as the price increases, the quantity demanded tends to fall.
